Concerning 2000 artabas of wheat for the embola. In the name of God. Ḳurrah b. Sharīk, Governor, to Basil, administrator of the village of Aphrodito … to the barns of Babylon from the embola of the 8th indiction for the rizḳ of the Muhājirūn of Fusṭāṭ, and we have apportioned to your administrative district 2000 artabas of wheat, and having made out the demand notes for these to the people of the separate places have sent them to you, stating in them that if the people of the separate places have any difficulty in paying the wheat and compound in money they shall pay in the proportion of 13 clean artabas with freight to the solidus. On receiving the present letter, therefore, in accordance with the powers given by the demand notes, send the said wheat and deliver it at the barns, obtaining the receipts for it, and even though you wrote [that it would be a great?] trouble nevertheless use all diligence to prevent a money composition being given instead of the wheat itself. Written the 1st Mesore, 8th indiction.
