A short Coptic-Greek order or delivery note, dated Pauni 7 of an indiction year 7, concerning 5 wagonloads (25 sacks) of wheat, amounting to 75 artabas, for Arion and destined for the mill. It comes from Middle Egypt and dates to the 6th or 7th century AD.

In English machine translation

Indiction 7, Pauni 7. Give (?) to Arion: 5 wagons, 25 sacks, of wheat 75 artabas, for the mill.

The Coptic ⲙⲁ is read here as the imperative 'give', making this an order; ⲉⲧμυλών appears to be Coptic ⲉ- ('to, for') joined to Greek μυλών ('mill'). The figures work out to 3 artabas per sack and 5 sacks per wagon.

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.
