A small fragment of a Greek document from Roman Egypt recording a sum of four drachmas, repeated in words and figures, dated to the 3rd of Pauni. It is probably a receipt for a payment.

In English machine translation

[… 1 line lost …] […] from the same (?) […] four […] 4, drachmas four drachmas four, total drachmas 4 […] drachmas 4. Pauni 3 […] [… 4 lines lost …]

The repetition of the amount in words and numerals is typical of receipts, but too little survives to identify the payment or the parties.

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.
