Fragment of a Ptolemaic money account listing quantities at unit prices with their totals in drachmas and obols, mentioning the month Phamenoth. It dates to the mid-3rd century BC; only the right side of the columns survives.
The items being priced are lost; only rates and totals survive. The account is written across the fibres of the papyrus.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
