Fragment of a money account in drachmas and obols, with a second column listing payments received from individuals such as Archinikos, Theoteles and Sosias. The back is addressed to Apollonios from Peisikles, so it was apparently an account sent by Peisikles to Apollonios, probably from the Zenon archive of the mid-3rd century BC.

The Apollonios addressed is probably the dioiketes of Ptolemy II, whose papers survive in the Zenon archive. Several lines in column 2 are too damaged to translate securely.
