An account of Isidoros listing garments or fabrics by colour (scarlet, rose, vermilion, yellow, green, blue-grey, purple, sapphire) with their prices, totalling 2 talents 3,600 drachmas. A second column records payments received through Herakleides and Diogenes, including 1,000 drachmas from the secretary Theodoros for expenses of Theoninos and Herakleides.
The colour terms are adjectives in the neuter plural, probably referring to garments or textiles; some quantities and prices in the first lines are lost. 'Dimnoou' apparently means weighing two minas.
