"The Hibeh Papyrus was written between 300 BCE to 270 BCE by a Greek. The Greek scribe lived in Hellenized Egypt. The numerical Greek data was transliterated by David Fowler and Eric Turner in Historia Mathematics, 10 (1983), 344-358. Units of Greek days were recorded in 1/45 parts unit fraction arithmetic."
