A small fragment of a Greek papyrus, now in Alexandria, mentioning seed and quantities in artabas. It probably concerned grain or seed for sowing. It dates somewhere between the 1st and 4th centuries AD.

In English machine translation

[… 6 lines lost …] […] together with the seed[…] […] of […] artabas […] […] seed […] […] into the […] [… 4 lines lost …] […] of these […] […] public (?) […] [… 2 lines lost …]

The word read as 'public' (demos-) may refer to public land or public obligations, which would suit a document about seed grain, but too little survives to be sure.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
