A fragmentary month-by-month account of deliveries, measured in sextarii and probably of wine or oil, made through various named persons, including former magistrates and their partners, and credited to different regnal and indiction years. It dates to about AD 312 and comes from the Herakleopolite or Memphite area, with at least part of the deliveries apparently for the army; Babylon (near modern Cairo) is mentioned.

Paired year numbers (e.g. year 19, year 7) are the concurrent regnal years of co-ruling emperors, used alongside the indiction cycle. A myriad is 10,000, so '1 myriad 8,935' means 18,935 sextarii.
