A fragmentary account of wage payments for vintage workers in the month of Mesore, listing numbers of grape-pickers, carriers and assistants with sums in drachmas. It comes from Panopolis in the first half of the 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] … Mesore, grape-pickers 14 […] […] … at the same (rate?), 602 drachmas […] grape-pickers, total 14, at the same (rate?), 1,275 drachmas […] … basket-carriers (?) 10, at the same (rate?), 1,273 drachmas assistants 8, at the same (rate?), 1,275 drachmas

The word asillophoroi refers to workers carrying loads on a yoke-pole (asilla), here probably transporting grapes. The repeated phrase 'of the same' is abbreviated and its exact reference (day or rate) is uncertain.

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