A daily account of bread loaves delivered, listing the number of loaves for each day from the 12th to the 28th of a month, with one day marked as a day off. It dates to the 2nd century AD and probably comes from the Arsinoite nome.

The abbreviation in the heading is read as 'delivered' (apodedomenon), and some marginal additions (e.g. 'μις', 'μ') are of uncertain meaning. The word argia marks a day without work or delivery; the title of the wider record mentions tools, presumably listed on another part of the papyrus.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Brote und Werkzeuge). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
