A fragmentary account listing goods with quantities and prices in drachmas and obols, including salt, salted fish, cedar oil, oars, steering oars and papyrus rolls. It comes from Memphis and dates to the 3rd century.
Many entries are abbreviated and their sense is uncertain; the date record says only century III, which may be BC or AD. The oars and rudders suggest supplies for a boat.
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.
