An account of bread loaves, counted in pairs, distributed to various people: citizens, soldiers, a messenger about geese, a locksmith, a carpenter and a certain Nikarios, and for the dedication of an image. It comes from Tebtynis in the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 2nd century AD.
The catalogue describes this as a first draft. Bread is counted in 'pairs' (zeuge) of loaves; the image dedicated was probably a portrait, perhaps of the emperor.
