An ostracon account listing amounts of wheat credited to individuals, mostly women, identified by district (chiefly the Agora quarter, once the North quarter) and patronymic. It dates to the first half of the 2nd century AD.
The abbreviation read as 'Agora quarter' and 'North' refer to neighbourhoods of a town, probably in the Thebaid; the names are mostly female (Sen- names), so 'daughter of' is assumed. Many figures and readings are uncertain.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Account of Wheat). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
