A short money account on an ostracon listing sums in talents against personal names (Sotas, Maxi..., Andreas). It dates to the 4th century AD and probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum.
The first column survives only as traces. The large sums in talents reflect the heavy inflation of the 4th century; the name Maxi(…) is abbreviated, perhaps for Maximos or Maximinos.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Money Account). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
