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.
