A fragmentary transport account of the 2nd century AD, recording receipts (including dealings with a wine-merchant Phanias) totalling 1854 drachmas 1 obol, followed by daily expenditure entries from Choiak 21 to 25. The entries note the estate's own donkeys and a donkey-driver carrying hay in loads and bundles from the plots of Hermogenes and Aspis, and one donkey idle with a hurt foot.

Mandakai are bundles or sheaves of hay or fodder; phorai are donkey-loads. The opening lines are badly damaged and their sense is uncertain.
