A short payment order in which Olympiodoros instructs his assistant Apollonios to issue two knidia (jars) of wine to a person whose name is lost. It dates to the 4th century AD and probably comes from the Hermopolite nome.

In English machine translation

From Olympiodoros to Apollonios, assistant, greetings. Supply to T[…] from the wine store (?) two knidia of wine, total [2 knidia of wine]. […] indiction, Hathyr 22. I have signed. [2 knidia of wine]

A knidion was a standard wine jar used as a measure. The recipient's name and the indiction year are lost, and the phrase rendered 'wine store' is largely restored.

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