A fragment of a waxed tablet from Dura-Europos preserving the right-hand ends of thirteen lines of an account. Only sums of money survive, several marked as denarii, while the items or names they belonged to are lost. It dates to the 2nd or 3rd century AD.
Dura-Europos lies on the Euphrates in Syria, not in Egypt. The figures are Greek alphabetic numerals, some with a sign for one half.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Fragment of a Waxed Tablet, with Accounts). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
