A small fragment of an ostracon recording money payments, listing a few personal names such as Valerius, Palemon and Demetrios with sums of 2 drachmas. It probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum and dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD.
Several words in line 3 are too damaged to interpret; only names and amounts can be read with confidence.
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.
