Note on checking an entry of 1,000 drachmas in the account of Karneades TM 2009probably Philadelpheia, Herakleidou meris, Arsinoite nome, EgyptIIIrd century B.C. (ca. 255-247 B.C.[?])

A fragmentary memorandum from the Zenon archive, apparently a note to an accounting clerk asking him to check whether 1,000 drachmas credited from Diotimos in the account of Karneades had not already been entered in the account handled by Theophilos. The verso mentions the bank of Python at Krokodilopolis in the Arsinoite nome. It dates to about 255-247 BC and probably comes from Philadelphia.

In English machine translation

The abbreviation at the start is expanded as 'to be checked', a standard instruction in accounting memoranda. Python's bank at Krokodilopolis was a royal bank of the Arsinoite nome; the verso's connection to the recto is uncertain.
