An account of wine belonging to a woman named Maria for the 11th indiction, listing buyers (cumin-sellers, a barber and others) with the sums in gold solidi each paid or owed. Totals of solidi, wine jars and large empty vessels follow, with a short summary on the back. From Aphrodito, 6th century AD.

In English machine translation

[recto] Copy of the statement of the wine of Maria, assessment (kanon) of the 11th indiction: Martes son of Mousaios, cumin-seller, 1 solidus, less 1 […] Anouphis son of Makarios, cumin-seller, 1 solidus, less 1 […] Apollos son of Tbiktor, fine-baker (?), 1/2 solidus, less 1/2 […] Anouphis son of Kastrasanos and Phoibammon son of Abraamios, cumin-sellers, on mutual security, 1 1/2 solidi, less 1 1/2 […] Heraklios son of Patasais, 1 solidus, less 1, the same Pkouitos, barber, 1/3 solidus, the same Isak his brother, 1/3 solidus, the same Apollos son of Paounios, 1/3 solidus, the same Tsemouthes, 1/3 solidus, the same Total, altogether 6 1/3 solidi, 253 jars of wine and for […] 279 jars of wine and 35 large empty vessels (megalokoupha) [verso] [Account of delivery] of wine from Maria […] jars and 2[7]9 jars of wine and [35] large empty vessels

The repeated phrase 'less 1' (para) probably marks a deduction in carats from each solidus, a common way of expressing light-weight gold payments; the exact sense here is unclear because the following words are illegible.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Comptes). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
