Fragment of a money account listing sums in drachmas for the months of Mesore and Thoth. It dates to the 3rd century.
In English machine translation
[… 3 lines lost …]
from the coming (month of) Mesore, 180 drachmas
for the month of Thoth … 16 drachmas, 2 obols, 1/2 obol, 3 chalkoi.
[… 2 lines lost …]
The records give only the century, without saying whether BC or AD. The small fractions (obols, half-obol, chalkoi) show precise bookkeeping in bronze small change.
