A fragmentary account from the Oxyrhynchite nome, 4th century AD, listing sums in talents and myriads (of denarii) paid by or credited to various individuals, some through daughters or agents. The back has headings for meat, wine and chaff, apparently items of a requisition or supply account.

The cataloguers tentatively describe it as a tax account. Meat, wine and chaff on the verso were typical items of annona-type requisitions in this period. Some numerals (e.g. 67) are uncertain readings.

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