An account listing people, grouped by day of the month, with sums of money in drachmas and daily totals. Many of those named are army veterans, along with a duplicarius, Arab archers, a grain-measurer and a doctor. It dates to the 2nd or 3rd century AD and probably comes from Philadelphia in the Fayum.
The numbers before some names (14, 15, 23, 24) appear to be days of the month. A duplicarius was a soldier receiving double pay; the purpose of the payments is not stated.
