A dated list of household articles and clothing, each with a sum of money, apparently items pledged or deposited against loans with various persons. Some items came through Aphroditous, a slave of the priests, including a robe from the fullery of the high priest Mystharion. From the Arsinoite nome, AD 163.

In English machine translation

Year 23, Mesore: with Thais, a stool and bronze vessels, for 100 drachmas. Year 24, Tybi: with Herakleides Ailies (?), a three-leaved bronze mirror, for 12 drachmas. And of those (deposited) through Aphroditous, slave of the priests: Year 3, Epeiph 12: a white robe with Laconian border, from the fullery of Mystharion the high priest, for 200 drachmas. Year 4, Hathyr 13: two white tunics, unfulled, for 100 drachmas. Choiak 8: a white garment set from the fullery, for 100 drachmas. (Choiak) 20: a blanket and white cloaks, unfulled, for 100 drachmas.

The phrase 'pros drachmas' (for drachmas) probably indicates the amount for which each item was pledged rather than a sale price. Years 23-24 and 3-4 likely refer to the reigns of Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius with Lucius Verus.
