A fragment of an ostracon with a money account listing five men, identified by their fathers' names, each with a sum in drachmas between 300 and 500. It probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum and dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD.

[…] son of Isidoros, 500 drachmas
[…]onis son of Leeis, 400 drachmas
