Fragmentary estate account from Oxyrhynchus, 6th to 7th century AD. After a column mentioning plots of land in arouras, it records quantities of wine in double jars belonging to the landowner's share and paid out to estate staff such as the deputy, administrator, secretary, steward and chief messenger.
The 'diplon' (double jar) is a standard wine container of late antique Egypt; the meanings of 'ekthesis' and 'smema' here are uncertain. The verso carries 12 lines of shorthand over an erased text.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Account of Wine). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
On the recto an account, written over an expunged document. Col. I, of which only ends of lines remain, referred to arourae of land; the remainder is an account of wine. On the verso 12 lines of shorthand over an effaced document in a semiuncial hand.
