A fragmentary list of donkeys and their owners or drivers, naming Anoubion (acting through Paneinos) and Smaragdos, slave of Apollonios, with a total of 20 donkeys. It comes from Bakchias in the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 2nd century AD.

In English machine translation

Anoubion, exempt, unregistered (?), through Paneinos, donkeys […] Smaragdos, slave of Apollonios […] Total: 20 donkeys. 8 (?) of the dekania (?) [… 14 lines lost …]

'Apolysimos' marks someone exempt from certain liturgies or taxes, and 'agraphos' (unregistered) is a doubtful reading. 'Dekania' was a group of ten, used here perhaps for organizing donkeys for transport duty.

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.
