An ostracon from Elephantine with a cash account listing mostly women's names, each followed by a sum in talents. It dates to the 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

[…]… […]eitchem, 100 talents Tanoum daughter of Petros, 300 talents Sarakalpo, on account, 300 talents Tapia daughter of Pasmet, 400 talents Tapane, 200 talents Artemis (?), 100 talents Allakia (?) daughter of Pheo…, 100 talents

The talents here are units of inflated late Roman money of account, not the large silver talents of earlier periods. Several names appear in grammatically irregular forms (e.g. Artemi, Allakian).
