Commentary

Rosamilia 2023 shows that this account should be the first one cut on this block and thus the most ancient of all accounts of damiergoi.

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 (the inverted order is also possible and matches perhaps better the sapce available). At line 3, the end of a name and the beginning of a father's name in Χ- seems bery plausible. However, Rosamilia 2023 rightly mentions as also possible the name Μοσχίων.

In this account, like in IGCyr011800², 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. Rosamilia 2023 noticed that apparently only the lower amounts (in drachmas) are lost and tried to restore with a very low margin of error.
