DescriptionThe recto side of this papyrus contains a list of payments of wine, oil, meat, etc., to various people. The verso contains a list of receipts and payments, partly in wheat and partly in money. The accounts on the verso side are of particular interest because of their comparisons between the relative values of different types of solidi. The measurements of the fragment are 300 by 545 mm.[2] It was discovered by Grenfell and Hunt in 1897 in Oxyrhynchus. The text was published by Grenfell and Hunt in 1898.[2] Excerpt from verso sideGiven to Andronicus the sailor 70 artabae, and to Anoup and John, lawyers (?) and contractors of the racecourse, as payment for the 11th indiction, 60 artabae of wheat, remainder {{frac|482|3|4}} artabae, 1 choenix of wheat. This, at 1 solidus less 4 carats on the private standard for every 10 artabae, is equivalent to {{frac|48|9|32}} solidi less 193 carats on the private standard, that is, less {{frac|289|1|2}} carats or {{frac|12|3|48}} solidi on the public standard, making {{frac|36|7|32}} pure solidi on the public standard, which are equivalent to {{frac|36|15|32}} solidi on the Alexandrian standard.[3]To the banker {{frac|12|1|8}} solidi on the Alexandrian standard, also 1 solidus less 4 carats on the private standard, which is equivalent to {{frac||87|96}} solidus on the standard of Alexandria, total {{frac|13|1|32}} solidi on the Alexandrian standard, leaving {{frac|23|7|16}} solidi on the Alexandrian standard.[4][2]See also

The equivalences listed here match these ratios. 4. ^According to Grenfell and Hunt there is probably an error in this calculation. As stated above, a solidus on the private standard was worth {{frac||146|161}} of a solidus on the Alexandrian standard. Here 1 solidus less 4 carats, i.e. {{frac||5|6}} solidus on the private standard is equivalent to {{frac||87|96}} of a solidus on the Alexandrian standard.They note that it is possible although unlikely that there was a large variation in the exchange rate. They think it much more likely, based on evidence from other papyri, that the discrepancy is due to an arithmetic error. 4 : Oxyrhynchus papyri vol.
