An order for the delivery of grain, written on an ostracon, from Julius Soterichos, secretary of the camel-riders, to Antonius, curator of the fort at Didymoi in the Eastern Desert. He instructs Antonius to give Peteminis, apparently a courier, one and a half artabas. The order is dated to the month of Pauni.
In English machine translation
Julius Soterichos, secretary of the camel-riders, to Antonius, curator of Didymoi, greetings. Give to Peteminis the courier (?) […] 1 1/2 artabas (?) […]
[…] Pauni […]
The word after Peteminis, 'tabellar[…]', probably refers to a tabellarius, a letter-carrier. The amount, 1 artaba followed by 'half', is partly obscured by a deletion and lacunae, so the reading 1 1/2 artabas is uncertain.
