A small fragment of an account listing sums of money, apparently in drachmas, including payments for artabas of grain, to an official called the aitetes, a tax on wine, and a sum for small fish (membras). It comes from Oxyrhynchus and dates to the early 1st century BC.

The word after 'artabas' (παρη) is obscure and left untranslated. The aitetes was a collector or claimant of dues, and membras is a small sprat-like fish.
