Grain receipt
Description
Receipt given to the sitologoi (village grain collectors) by a farmer for an advance of seed-corn issued to enable him to sow the lands assigned him. The distribution was made in the late autumn, and probably at the rate of one artaba of grain for each aroura of land. These advances of grain were repaid by farmers after the harvest, usually in the month of Pauni (May 26 - June 24), although sometimes in the preceding (Pachon) or following (Epeiph) months, together with about 23% of the original advance as interest and to cover expenses of collection. (Goodspeed 1902, 9)
