Fragment of an account of fine flour and wheat meal issued in artabas and choinikes, naming a baker Philon, a Toubias and a delivery at Jerusalem. It belongs to the Zenon archive and probably dates to Zenon's journey through Palestine around 259 BC.

The records place the text in Palestine, where it was written, but the papyrus was found with the Zenon archive at Philadelphia in the Fayum; it is in the same hand as the companion account P.Cair.Zen. 1 59004. Toubias is probably the Jewish notable Tobias of the Transjordan, and the reading Jerusalem is a restoration.
