A short account of grain from a field totalling 54 artabas 6 choinikes, recording amounts sent to the mill and paid to two individuals, Talthybios and Eukairas. It is written on the back of a papyrus from the Oxyrhynchite nome.

In English machine translation

Field: 54 artabas 6 choinikes. Of which: to the mill 1 1/2 artabas, to Talthybios 28 artabas, to the mill 12 1/2 artabas, to Eukairas 1 artaba.

The recorded disbursements (43 artabas) do not add up to the stated total, so the account may be incomplete or the remainder unrecorded. The front of the papyrus carries a receipt for crown tax, and the title in the records covers both sides.

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