A fragmentary ostracon account listing personal names with sums of money in talents, one entry naming a deacon. It dates to the 4th century AD and comes from Elephantine.

In English machine translation

[…] Sarapammon […] Dios […] 50 talents […]ios 400 talents […]tes, deacon, 240 talents […]s 250 […]pil 150 talents

The large sums in talents reflect the heavy inflation of the 4th-century currency. The left side of each line is lost, so the names are incomplete.

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 espèces). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
