A fragment of a private account from Oxyrhynchus listing additional expenses and receipts: wheat sold to Didymos, a payment connected with sacred objects from Mouchis, and purchases of fish, beer, eggs, oil and wine. The sums are probably in copper drachmas, with a final entry converting 8 silver drachmas paid on behalf of the father. It dates to the 1st century BC.
In English machine translation
And there are added: price of 1/2 (artaba of) wheat sold to Didymos, 1,100 (drachmas); ransom (?) of sacred objects from Mouchis, 500; small fish, […]; beer, 10; eggs, 2, 25; oil, 1 kotyle, 180; wine, 2 jars, 1 talent.
Of Greek (?) […]
Price of 8 drachmas of silver on behalf of the father, 2,700.
The amounts are probably reckoned in copper drachmas, so 8 silver drachmas correspond to 2,700 copper ones. The sense of 'lytra' (literally ransom or redemption payment) for sacred objects and of the heading 'Of Greek' is unclear, and the amount for small fish is lost.
