The ‘mistakes’ in the arithmetical problem of SB XXIV 16038 A turn out to be most likely explained not as calculation mistakes but as errors occurred in a copying process, both considered in themselves and in the light of the transmission tendencies that can be detected in the papyrological tradition of this kind of mathematical texts. These errors appear to be strictly analogous or maybe in some way connected with the similar inconsistencies that affect the text of the closest parallel, namely, two loan problems of P.Mich. III 145 fr. 3 col. vii.1-4 (probl. 1) and 5-7 (probl. 2)
