Many lines consist of numerals and broken words, so readings such as 'bare land' (psilotopos) and the commodity names are uncertain. The century could also be BC depending on the record's convention; the catalogue gives only 'III'.

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.
