†
To my brother Ioannes, receiver, from Ioannes. Deliver to Menas son of Herakleides and Sarapion son of Pachymios thirty-five and two-thirds artabas of barley, total 35 2/3 artabas of barley, by the Athenian measure, only. † Ioannes
I agree, as stated above.
The text specifies barley, although the catalogue title speaks of wheat. A paralemptes was an official or agent who received and stored grain.
