Fragment of an account recording sales of goods, including birds, pigs and 96 jars of old wine from Coracesium, with prices in drachmas.

In English machine translation

Koracesian wine came from Coracesium in Cilicia; the restoration '[to]mia' (slices or cuts, perhaps of salted fish) is uncertain. The total of 352 drachmas fits 96 jars at 3 drachmas 4 obols each.
