An account of expenses, apparently kept for or by a man named Hemisios, listing payments in myriads of denarii for goods such as natron, roses, fish, fish sauce and meat. It comes from the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 4th or 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

Account of Hemisios(?): for natron, 225 myriads into the hands (of someone), 60 myriads likewise, 30 myriads likewise, 40 myriads for roses, 150 myriads for apologos(?), 122 myriads musk(?) (or calf's-skin), 78 myriads for monophakos(?), 600 myriads for fish, 60 myriads for fish sauce, 60 xestai, 60 myriads for dogs(?), 15 myriads for meat, 3 pounds, 68 myriads […]

Sums are reckoned in myriads (units of 10,000) of denarii, reflecting the heavy inflation of the late Roman period. Several items (apologos, moschinon, monophakos, kynon) are obscure, and their translations are uncertain.

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