A fragmentary ostracon with a daily money account in two columns. The first column records numbers of men paid by the day at rates in obols, and the second lists receipts by day in the month Phamenoth.
The abbreviation read as 'υδ' may stand for 'water' (hydor), possibly a water-related charge or water-carrying, but its meaning is uncertain. The figures in column 1 do not obviously match simple multiplication, so the rates may be reckoned differently.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
