Fragment of a business account recording daily payments in drachmas and obols for workers or carriers of pottery, bricks, charcoal and salt. It is dated in the month Pachon of the 18th year of Trajan and probably comes from Soknopaiu Nesos in the Fayum.
Terms ending in -egos (keramegos, plinthegos, anthrakegos, halegos) probably denote transporters of pottery, bricks, charcoal and salt rather than producers. A kydaros is a type of river boat.
