A receipt on an ostracon recording a delivery of 4 1/6 artabas of wheat into the state granary on behalf of the village of Charax near Thebes, credited to Psais (?). It is dated Epeiph 4 in a regnal year of Antoninus (probably Antoninus Pius) and signed by an official named Pete[…].

In English machine translation

Measured into the granary […] of the produce of […] of Antoninus Caesar the lord, Epeiph 4, on behalf of Charax, in the name of Psais (?), son of Senphthoumonthes daughter of Petechespochrates: wheat, four artabas and one sixth, total 4 1/6 artabas of wheat. I, Pete[…], have signed.

The regnal year number is lost, and the payer's name Psais is partly restored. The quantity is given in artabas, the standard Egyptian grain measure, though the unit is not written out.

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