Year 17. Account of “bare items” (i.e., simple entries): 96 drachmas, of which were spent for the price of wine: 4 (units), of 3 “tetrachoes” (four-choes measures): 27 drachmas.

Likewise, 2 tetrachoes: 18 drachmas, transport: 1 obol, local(?) charges: 4 obols; total becomes 18 drachmas, 5 obols.

4 tetrachoes: 36 drachmas, transport: 2 obols, local(?) charges: 6 obols; total becomes 37 drachmas, 1 obol.

Of these: for “dom(?)” 18 drachmas, for others 9 drachmas, for others (paid) to Castor 4 drachmas; total becomes 31 drachmas; remaining … 6 drachmas, 1 obol.

Account with/against Areis (or “Arei-”) of receipt/collection: I had on the 4th: 60 drachmas, another … 8 drachmas, another 8 drachmas; total becomes 76 drachmas. Of which I gave to a camel-driver …; total becomes …; remaining 5 drachmas.
