An order from Nemesianus to Severus to deliver 26 jars and 16 double-jars of wine from an estate's western vineyard to Ammonas, a landowner, who had already paid the estate manager 800 drachmas for them. Written at Oxyrhynchus on 16 May 260.

In English machine translation

Nemesianus to Severus, greetings. Deliver to Ammonas, landowner in the village of Sesphtha (?), of the wine of the produce of year 5, from the western estate, vat 4, twenty-six jars and sixteen double-jars, as agreed with him, the jars at 16 drachmas each and the double-jars at 24 drachmas each; the total price of all of which, 800 drachmas, he has paid to the manager of the estate. Farewell, and deliver the jars of wine, twenty, double-jars sixteen, total: 26 jars, 16 double-jars. Year 7, Pachon 21.

The body repeats the jar count as "twenty" though the figures and earlier text give 26; the price arithmetic (26 x 16 + 16 x 24 = 800 drachmas) confirms 26. A diplokeramon is a double-sized wine jar.
