Notes

The text appears to be a fragmentary administrative or financial document from Oxyrhynchus, Egypt. Fragment A lists payments or allocations to various officials or workers, including a timekeeper (ὡρογράφος), an inspector (ἐφόδος), and a camel-driver (καμηλίτης). Fragment B mentions talents, a unit of currency or weight, but the context is too fragmentary to determine exact details.
