Fragment of a daily expense account listing payments for general expenses, for honeyed wine (oinomeli), to grape-treaders and to a woman named Valerias, around the start of the month Thoth. It dates to the 2nd century AD and probably comes from the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

… for expenses, likewise 5th: for expenses, likewise 6th: for wine-honey, 49 and for expenses, likewise Thoth 1st: to the treaders to Valerias, likewise for expenses, likewise 2nd: to the men from Pense […]

Oinomeli was wine mixed with honey; the treaders (patetai) pressed grapes with their feet, suggesting a vintage-season account. The last line is damaged and its ending is unclear.
