A short document addressed to the granary officials (sitologoi) of Karanis concerning seed grain for year 22 of Antoninus Pius. It records Ptolemaios son of Orsenouphis in connection with 3 arouras of royal land in the 62nd cleruchy, at Karanis in the Fayum around AD 158-159.
In English machine translation
To the sitologoi of Karanis. I have received, having declared (?), for seed of the 22nd year of Antoninus Caesar the lord, of the 62nd cleruchy, Ptolemaios son of Orsenouphis, grandson of Patsontis, for royal land, 3 arouras.
The phrasing is terse and the exact sense of 'having declared' (prosphonesas) is uncertain; such texts record seed loans issued to cultivators of state land. 'Royal land' was land owned by the state and leased to farmers.
