Fragment of an inventory or survey of property from Oxyrhynchus, giving totals of measurements in cubits, part of them for vaulted construction, and listing wooden fittings such as benches, panels and jars. It is signed by Aurelius Saras, who submitted it, in the 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

[recto] [… lines lost …] Total, single cubits 689 1/2 1/6 1/12, of which vaulted (work) [253], the remaining cubits 425 1/2 1/6 1/12. Of a frame of heather-wood gubernaria (?), benches, new panels, […] jars I, Aurelius Saras, signed, […] I have submitted.

The meaning of gubernaria, here apparently items of heather-wood, is uncertain. The figure 253 for vaulted cubits is restored from the arithmetic of the totals.

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