A small fragment of a Greek papyrus from the Ptolemaic period, apparently an instruction about registering or writing something down, with a mention of wheat. It is dated to year 34, Tybi, which corresponds to February-March 251 BC.
In English machine translation
[… 4 lines lost …]
[…] to register (?) […]
[…] 6 (artabas?) of wheat […]
[…] not to write otherwise than thus […]
[…] Year 34, Tybi […]
Year 34 is that of Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The volume containing this text belongs to the Zenon archive, so it probably comes from Philadelphia in the Fayum, though no place is recorded.
