Catalogued as a tax list, but the content looks more like a business account involving clothing sales and pledges. Several words, such as the item after the price at the end of the Fragment D account, are unclear in the Greek.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Tax List). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
