A list of household and travelling items, including pillows, saddle-cloths, clothing, boxes of documents, basins and horse gear, handed over to Semmonthis on 26 July 134 BC. It belongs to the family archive of the cavalryman Dryton, probably from Pathyris, and may have been written by his son Esthladas.
The writer is only tentatively identified as Esthladas. Terms such as tarsos (wicker mat) and systron (a horse-grooming tool) are uncertain in meaning.
