A fragmentary ostracon account listing sums in talents against names or entries that are mostly lost. It comes from Elephantine and dates to the 4th-5th century AD.
The names of the payers or payees are almost entirely lost; 'Pyr' may be an abbreviated name or patronymic. In this period the talent was a unit of money reckoning, much reduced in value by inflation.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Compte en talents). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
