Fragment of a private account of grain (artabas) issued for animals and other purposes, recording payments made through Myrsine and by the writer himself, including a payment to the banker Hermokrates while the writer was away at Ptolemais. It belongs to the archive of Dryton and was probably written by his son Esthladas.

Attribution to Esthladas, son of Dryton, is tentative. The arithmetic is not fully consistent and some figures are uncertain.
