Receipt in which Papeeis, a camel-keeper of Dionysias, acknowledges to the sitologoi (granary officials) Ptollis and associates that he has received payment in kind for transporting barley on his own camels from the district granaries to the river harbours. It dates to the second year of Hadrian, probably AD 118, at Dionysias in the Arsinoite nome.
