An ostracon account of expenses listing sums of money for items such as salted fish, salt, frankincense, oil, bread and wine, along with recurring "common" entries and a payment to a man named Kteson. It dates to the 2nd or 3rd century AD; its place of origin is unknown.
The word koinon ("common") probably marks shared or general expenses; the figures are presumably sums of money, though no currency is written.
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.
