A bank payment record from Memphis, dated 2 September AD 156, in which Anoubion son of Anoubion pays Labois the remaining balance of the price of a marsh boat for carrying dung, with one pole, which he had bought from him. Part of the payment had already been made through another Memphite bank the previous year.

In English machine translation

[recto] Year twenty of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, Thoth fifth. Through the bank at Memphis of Sarapion son of Areios, former high priest of the Hadrianeion, of the city of the Memphites. Anoubion son of Anoubion, Memphite, of the gymnasium class, son of a colonist (?) of Heliopolis, to Labois son of Anoubion, his mother being Tnepheros, Memphite, maker of papyrus-reed boats (?), the balance of the price of the marsh dung-carrying boat with one pole which he has bought from him and received, in addition to the sums that Labois received from Anoubion by bank order through the bank at Memphis of Apollonios son of Asklepiades in the past year […] [… lines lost …] [verso] Receipt of Labois.

The term paktotos is uncertain; it likely denotes a maker or operator of light reed boats (pakton). The 'from the gymnasium' designation marks a privileged status group.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
