الآلهة. الكاهن براكس [--- فلان بن فلان]. تحت إشراف كل من الداميرجوي [---] بن تيموخوس و[فلان] بن إت [يارخوس] وأناكس [--- بن فلان]، تم تقدير المحاصيل كالتالي: الشعير، 2 دراخما للمقدار الواحد؛ القمح، للمقدار الواحد [قيمة ما]؛ البقوليات، للمقدار الواحد [قيمة ما]؛ [الكمون]، 3 دراخما للمقدار الواحد. [---].
Commentary
At line 8, the price being 2 drachmas or a little more, cumin is more likely than straw, which in some accounts follows immediately pulse. So Oliverio was probably right to restore the former.
