Commentary

This account is in very poor condition and restorations are based on the series of similar documents.

In the lost part from line 2 (or even part of 1) to 5, there should have been the names of three damiergoi and of the priest.

In this account, like in IGCyr011800, there is no distributive adverb ἀν before each unitary value (as shown at l. 13).

At line 13, there is no space for both olives and oil, as mentioned in other accounts. Because of the lacuna, it is impossible to choose between them.

Numbers of expense and remainder are partially lost. As what is preserved of the remainder is very low, it would be hazardous to restore the expense.
