The next five lines (lines 13–17 of the document) are very fragmentary. They offer two other male names most likely followed by the commodities they handed over.
“List (brevium) of items of the holy martyr (shrine),
Aurelios, son of Ptolemaios, left
as follows:
3 silver wine-cups and 6 gold coins,
6 silver lamps,
2 Sicilian measures of radish oil,
7 ½ artabas of vegetable seed,
60 sextarii of fine oil,
21 ½ artabas of wheat in the village,
and likewise there 60 artabas of wheat,
4 artabas of […] from Paul, deacon,
3 artabas of vegetable seed, 7 artabas of wheat.”
