An account listing quantities measured in litrai and half-litrai together with numbers of kyklia (round items, perhaps loaves or cakes), apparently issued to guards, starting on Pauni 1. It totals 4 litrai and 73 kyklia, followed by a further entry. From Egypt, 4th century AD.

Kyklia are literally 'circles', probably round loaves or cakes counted against a weight in litrai. The word beginning phylaki- at each line end is broken and may refer to guards or a guard post.
