Fragment of a bank or account ledger listing individual clients' accounts in alphabetical order (Apollonios, Apollodoros, Areion, Ariston and others), with dated credits and the amounts paid out against them, in drachmas and copper. It comes from the Hermopolite nome, probably in the second half of the 1st century BC.
