A daily account of expenses on the back of a papyrus from Oxyrhynchus, around AD 150, recording payments to notaries for writing and searching out official minutes, including those of the chief judge and of the prefect Munatius Felix, and for buying papyrus.
Munatius Felix was prefect of Egypt around AD 150-154. The meaning of 'mallois' (literally 'fleeces'), apparently a place or office name, is uncertain.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
