A small fragment of an ostracon account from Elephantine listing quantities in pounds alongside sums of money in keratia and talents. It dates to the 5th or 6th century AD.

In English machine translation

[… ? lines lost …] […] … […] [pounds] […] 1/2, 7 keratia 4 pounds, 1,600 talents 7 pounds 1/2, 6 keratia 6 pounds, 600 talents […] … […]

The symbol read as 1/2 may belong to the pound figure; keratia (carats) and talents are money of account of the period, and what was weighed in pounds is not stated in the surviving text.
