A fragmentary account of wine spent, listing items given for decanting the wine, tips for sailors, a payment to the lady Theodora, a gangway, the writers' own drinking, and a one-percent charge. It comes from the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 7th-8th century AD.

Given for decanting (?) of the wine […]
Given for gratuities of the sailors […]
Given to the lady (amma) Theodora […]
Given for the gangway […]
Given for our drinking […]

The quantities at the right of each line are lost. The word read as metanexis (here 'decanting', the transfer of wine between vessels) and the term amma, a respectful title for a woman often used for nuns, have no exact English equivalents.
