Explanation

This document appears to be an ancient inventory or accounting record, listing the number of loaves of bread delivered each day. The Greek numerals indicate the days of the month, and the following numerals indicate the quantity of bread loaves delivered. The term "ἀργία" (argia) indicates a rest day or holiday, presumably a day when no bread was delivered.
