A small fragment of a private account in Greek on an ostracon, listing payments in drachmas connected with a man named Horos, for items such as linen cloths and machines and for the hetairikon charge. It comes from Eileithyiopolis (Elkab) and dates to the 1st or 2nd century AD.

The hetairikon was a tax or charge whose exact nature is uncertain; it is usually linked to a levy on hetairoi (companions or prostitutes). The 'machines' are probably water-lifting devices.
