A papyrus from the Zenon archive at Philadelphia reused for several accounts: sales of wine from Timagenes' vineyard and wine sold through Aristokrates at Phys, monthly money receipts, and money given to the farmer Onnophris for sesame processing, harvesting and oxen. A later account records payments to Laommasos son of Teos for transporting wine.
