A payment order issued in the name of the 'divine house' (an imperial or great estate) to its overseer Victor, instructing him to provide 11 carats' worth in produce, reckoned on the Alexandrian standard, to the son of Theodoros. It is dated Pharmouthi of a 15th indiction, at Oxyrhynchos, in the late 6th or early 7th century AD.
The heading, including the name Victor and the estate of Kineas, is largely restored on the pattern of similar Oxyrhynchite payment orders. Carats (keratia) are fractions of a gold solidus, here paid in kind ('in produce').

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
