Fragment of an account of expenses, listing payments for glass flasks, foreign wine, fish sauce, cooking boards, book cases, boat freight, mooring dues and fees to searchers and porters. Many items seem connected with a journey by water passing Nikopolis, near Alexandria. It dates to the late 3rd century AD and comes from Theadelphia in the Fayum.
