An inventory of travelling baggage, probably belonging to a cavalryman of the Dryton family archive, listing bedding, horse gear, a breastplate and weapons, clothing, vessels, books and writing equipment. The list is attributed in the records perhaps to Esthladas, son of the cavalry officer Dryton, from Ptolemaic Upper Egypt.
