† To the landowner's house: 3 double-jars, 12 krateria. To the assistant: 9 krateria. To the secretary: 6 krateria. To the banker: 9 krateria, 3 double-jars. To the steward (meizoteros): 3 krateria. To the doorkeeper: 1 kraterion. To the cellarer: 1 kraterion.

The kraterion and the diplon (double-jar) are wine measures of uncertain exact capacity. The 'landowner's house' (geouchike oikia) refers to the great estate household, probably of the Apion family.
