An account of payments in wheat and money to vine-dressers, gardeners and other workers and individuals on an estate, with monthly entries and totals in talents. It comes from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome, mid-3rd century BC.
The phylakitikon was a contribution for the police guard; here it may be a payment in kind. Totals in talents likely reflect copper-standard reckoning.
