Fragment of an account recording sums of money in drachmas connected with Roman cavalrymen of an ala, among them Fronto of the turma of Longinus and Lucius Herennius Saturnilus of the turma of Alfenus, and with Egyptian villagers, one from Alabanthis. It dates to the 1st century AD and probably comes from the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

[…] of Fronto, cavalryman of the ala, […] of the turma of Longinus, and of Lucius Herennius Saturnilus, cavalryman of the same ala, of the turma of Alfenus, 80 drachmas […] son of Marres (?), from the village of Alabanthis, […] drachmas […] of Fronto, cavalryman of the ala, […] of the turma of Longinus, and of Lucius Herennius Saturnilus […] cavalryman of the same ala, of the turma of Alfenus, 64 drachmas […] […] and to Palamedes son of Petesouchos […] and to Onnophris son of Petesouchos […]

A turma was a cavalry troop within an ala, a Roman auxiliary cavalry unit, named after its commander. The beginnings of lines are lost, so the nature of each transaction is unclear.
