A fragmentary day-by-day account recording camels (or camel loads) supplied by or hired from several men, chiefly Onnophris, Eudemos and Labois, over the days of a month, with totals on the back. It dates to the mid-3rd century BC, part of the Zenon archive held in London.

The recurring 'ka[…]' may be an abbreviation for camel (kamelos) or a numeral; its sense is uncertain. The numbers at line starts are taken as days of the month.
