A fragmentary account listing wines and other commodities by type or origin, such as Italian, Egyptian, Koan, Amminaean, Hadrianic and Mendesian wines, together with oil and wool, with quantities. It dates to the 3rd or 4th century AD and probably comes from Karanis.
The names refer to wine types or origins (Koan, Amminaean, Hadrianic, Mendesian), probably measured in jars (keramia) and flagons (lagynoi). The right side of every line is lost.
