Ostracon receipt from a collector (praktor) of the Islands district near Thebes to a man probably named Petechespochrates son of Chabonchonsis, paid through his son Horos. It acknowledges a share of a third delivered in place of green fodder for the cavalry unit stationed at Koptos, from the harvest of year 22, probably AD 181-182.

I have received from you the share […] of a third, in place of fodder (grastis), for the cavalry squadron at Koptos, of the produce of year 22. […] Phaophi(?) […]. I have signed. [… 2 lines lost …]

Grastis is green fodder, here commuted for another payment for the ala at Koptos; the catalogue says the receipt also has a note in Demotic. The payer's name is partly restored.
