Commentary
The reduced dimensions of the preserved fragment and the display of the few preserved products allow to consider that this account was organised in two columns, like some others originally dated in the second century B.C. Rosamilia, 2016 Rosamilia, E., 2016, Numismatica e documentazione epigrafica: i piedi monetali e l'introduzione del "bronze standard" a Cirene, in M. Asolati, Le monete di Cirene e della Cirenaica nel Mediterraneo: problemi e prospettive. Atti del V Congresso Internazionale di Numismatica e di Storia Monetaria. Padova, 17-19 marzo 2016, Numismatica Patavina13, 83-100 - see in bibliography has shown that the change from silver standard to bronze standard took place in Cyrenaica about 220 B.C. and he was also able ( Rosamilia, 2017 Rosamilia, E., 2017, The introduction of Bronze Standard in Cyrenaica: Evidence from the Damiergoi Accounts, Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik (ZPE), 201, 139-154 - see in bibliography ) to place this account before 180 B.C., together with IGCyr014000, IGCyr014300 and IGCyr014600. One other common point for this group is the use of the abbreviated form of some products names.
