A fragmentary day-by-day account of deliveries, mostly of sacks (including barley) carried by camel-drivers such as Mallites, recorded from late Pachon into Pauni. It belongs to the mid-4th-century AD papers of the Abinnaeus archive, probably from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome.

The entries before Pauni 1 presumably fall in the preceding month, Pachon, whose name is lost. Quantities in every entry are lost, so only the dates and carriers survive.
