An account of barley delivered in sack loads, with totals in artabas and a remainder, followed by a list of men, some identified by father or home village, apparently connected with the month Phamenoth. It belongs to the archive of the officer Abinnaeus, mid-4th century AD, probably from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome.
The line with 'smaller' and 'others' is abbreviated and its reading uncertain; the arithmetic of the totals does not fully add up as preserved. The names may be soldiers or payees for Phamenoth.
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.
