A short list from Oxyrhynchus, dating to the 3rd century AD, allotting items one each to legionaries, a nomenclator, a beneficiarius and an attendant of pack animals. An entry for 4 cavalrymen was crossed out. It probably records provisions or accommodation for soldiers and officials passing through.

In English machine translation

For legionaries, 1 For the nomenclator, 1 ⟦For cavalrymen, 4⟧ For the beneficiarius, 1 For the person in charge of pack animals (?), 1 Total, 4 couches (?).

The abbreviation in the total (κο) is uncertain and may refer to couches, beds or some other unit. The epiktenites seems to have been responsible for pack animals, and the nomenclator and beneficiarius were Roman military or official functionaries.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as List of Supplies). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
