A daily account recording deliveries of 'pairs' (probably pairs of loaves) made through Kerdon, Artemis and Apiaine over the end of one month and early Pachon, with a total and a conversion into artabas. It comes from Memphis in the 3rd century AD.
Zeugos, literally 'pair' or 'yoke', here probably denotes a pair of loaves reckoned at 60 per artaba of grain. The figures in the last two lines are obscure; 806 artabas does not match the stated total of 205 pairs, which would be about 3 1/2 artabas at 60 to the artaba.
