Receipt for delivery of grain
Description
Written in an upright, unusually skilled and careful hand, this fragment of a receipt for delivery of grain is one of two texts in this group that bear Christian symbols (cf. also 10, intr.). On the abbreviation χμγ, the meaning of which is still uncertain, see PMerton 94, rn., and A. D. Nock, Speculum 26 (1951), p. 505 note II. Other instances of this Christian symbol in papyri as early as the fourth century are found in several Michigan documents, also from Karanis: PMich 378 (where cf. In.) and 519, and Aegyptus 33 (1953), pp. 17-23. (ed. pr.)
