[recto] † With God. Account for the embole of barley from the monastery […] of Thomas: estate of Paa, 20 artabas; estate of Phase, 16 artabas; estate of Neolakkos, 20 artabas; estate of Kalaseirion, 18 artabas; estate of Psarakose, 14 artabas; Parob Kauch, 15 artabas; estate of Nesieeu, 7 artabas; city of Apollo, 11 1/2 artabas; Dioskoria, 6 artabas; Terot from the estate of Pampas, 15 artabas. [verso] […] through Lach, 100 artabas […] […] 2 artabas […] […] 2 2/3 (?) artabas […] […] 2 artabas

The records disagree on provenance: Apollonopolis Heptakomias (queried) versus Apollonopolis Magna (Edfu), and also on which side carries the embole account. The embole was the compulsory grain levy shipped to Alexandria or Constantinople.

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 Barley for the Embole). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
