An account of metal objects (a lampstand, a tripod, a dish and others) valued by weight in minas at a rate per mina, with totals in bronze talents and drachmas. Part of the sum is recorded as held by two women, one connected with Psoris and one named Tsenoris. It comes from the Hermopolite nome.

In English machine translation

Of a lampstand, 15 minas at 1,200 (drachmas each): 3 talents of bronze Of a tripod, 30 minas at 900: 4 talents 3,000 (drachmas) of bronze Amazon (?) 343 (?), 7 minas at 1,000: 1 talent 1,000 (drachmas) Of a dish, 5 minas at 900: 4,500 (drachmas) of bronze […] 1,500 drachmas […] 21 (drachmas?) of silver, of which: with the daughter (?) of Psoris 3 (talents?), 4,000 (drachmas?) of bronze […] and with Tsenoris (talents) […] […]

The rates appear to be bronze drachmas per mina of metal weight; the line beginning 'Amazon' is obscure and may describe a figured object. The record titles the text a list of metal objects.

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