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.
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.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Comptes en nature et 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.
