An account listing items of clothing and textiles (tunics, cloaks, dalmatics, a bed-cover) with sums of money against each, ending with a total of 10 drachmas 2 obols. It was written at Oxyrhynchus in the 3rd century AD, possibly a laundry or cleaning bill.

In English machine translation

For previous account, 2 obols Of a sleeveless tunic with stripes (?), 4 obols Single tunics, honey-coloured, 1 drachma 5 obols Of a cloak of natural colour, 2 chalkoi Of a white tunic, 2 chalkoi Bed-cover, sand-coloured (?), 1 drachma […] Cloak, black, 2 drachmas […] Dalmatic, white, 1 drachma Small dalmatic, linen, […] 2 chalkoi Sleeveless tunic, linen, […] 4 obols Thoth: of a sleeveless tunic with stripes (?), 4 obols Total 10 drachmas 2 obols

The small charges suggest payment for a service such as washing or fulling rather than purchase prices. The abbreviations 'tha' and 'pr' are unexplained and left untranslated; 'enseemos' probably means bearing a mark or stripe. A dalmatic is a wide-sleeved tunic.
