In English machine translation

From Apollonios to Lucius the washer (?), Mecheir 27. Of fine (quality): 1 1/2 pounds, 600 rolls (?); likewise of inferior (quality): 1 pound, rolls (?) […]

The word read as plytēi is probably plytēs, 'washer' or fuller, misspelled. The kyklia ('round things') are presumably rolls or balls of tow, but the exact sense is uncertain.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Aufstellung von Werglieferungen). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
