An account of goods, chiefly linen cloths, flax and ropes, shipped by river boat, with freight charges, payments to sailors such as Kastor and Tiberius, and other expenses, entered by month from Tybi to Epeiph. It dates to the second half of the 3rd century AD, probably from the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

[…] by boat from […] […] drachmas for freight, 2 bundles(?), 405 drachmas […] linen cloths sent, 2 bundles, […] 470 (?), 9 talents 2,080 drachmas flax, 1 1/2 bundles, 18 drachmas Tybi 13, flax, 1 bundle, 12 drachmas ropes, 1 bundle, 12 drachmas linen cloths sent by boat from Metrodoros, 4 talents 496 drachmas river expenses, 200 drachmas half-freight […] 100 drachmas Mecheir, to Kastor the sailor through Apol(lonios) linen cloths […] 200 drachmas 11, to Kastor the sailor who sailed with the same, 100 drachmas 14, for a letter in place of [… linen cloths] sent [by] Dionysios the steward, Phel(…), 6 talents Pachon […] from the dispatch of linen cloths through Tiberius the sailor through Apollonios to Kollouthes; total […] of Oxyrhynchite nuts […] 728 drachmas 1 blanket, 548 drachmas tax on them, 50 drachmas Epeiph, the additional payments added in Phamenoth, of Lakedaimon, paid to Kaimos, 3,700 drachmas others of the same, 2,400 drachmas total of freight, 1 talent [100 drachmas] […]

The abbreviation read as bundles (moia) is uncertain in meaning; several entries, such as the word before 'Oxyrhynchite nuts', are obscure. The large sums in talents reflect the inflation of the later 3rd century.
