A granary receipt certifying that Horos son of Psentatymis delivered a small quantity of wheat (1/4 + 1/40 artaba) toward his public grain taxes for year 14 of Trajan. It was issued by the sitologos Horos son of Pisechthis of the Mothis tax district, at Kellis in the Dakhleh Oasis, in July 111.
A sitologos was the official in charge of receiving grain at the public granary; Mothis was the chief town of the Dakhleh Oasis. The unit (artaba) is implied, not written.
