Fragmentary payment order recording sums in bronze assigned for the freight of fodder and for provisioning allowances of a boat commanded by Dionysios. It dates to 8 November 131 BC in the Herakleopolite nome.
Sitarchia was an allowance for the maintenance of personnel, here the boat's crew. The stated total (19 talents 466 drachmas 4 obols) does not exactly match the sum of the listed items (18 talents 466 drachmas 4 obols).

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
