Fragmentary account from Memphis, 3rd century AD, listing sums of money in drachmas and obols with a total of 398 drachmas 2 obols. It then records payments, apparently taxes or fees, connected with slaves described by name, age and physical features, including a nine-year-old slave, with a soldier and an Aurelius also mentioned.
The reading 'uncircumcised' (aperitmetos) is partly restored; the descriptions of the slaves resemble those used in sale registers or tax records on slave transactions.
