A private account of yarn and warp threads held by a woman named Eudoxia, listing warp for garments, a pillow and other items in various colours. It was written in the hand of Dioskoros at Aphrodito in the 6th century AD and belongs to his archive.
The text is heavily abbreviated; 'σητμ(όνων)' is likely a miswriting of στημόνων, warp threads. Colour terms such as 'melon-coloured' and 'lotus-coloured' are uncertain readings of abbreviations.
