A short order or delivery note in Coptic and Greek instructing that 8 wagonloads, 40 sacks, or 120 artabas of wheat be given to a man named Pabineos for the mill. It is dated Pauni 28 of a seventh indiction and comes from Middle Egypt in the 6th to 7th century.

In English machine translation

Indiction 7, Pauni 28. Give to Pabineos (?): 8 wagons, 40 sacks, 120 artabas of wheat for the mill.

The Coptic "ma" is the imperative "give", typical of short delivery orders; the reading of the personal name is uncertain. The figures appear to describe one consignment, with 40 sacks of 3 artabas each making 120 artabas.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
