A fragmentary account of expenditures from the Arsinoite nome in the first half of the 4th century AD. It records payments in solidi and talents for annona, treasury dues, barley and its freight, charcoal, wool and gold, made through named agents and bankers, followed by a total and a short list of names by year.
The phrase rendered 'annona of the hostages' (annonai homerikai) is uncertain in meaning. Some figures, such as the denarii sum, are doubtful readings.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as List of Expenditure). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
