An official letter from Aurelius Ammonios, procurator of Alexandria, to Annius Diogenes, procurator of the Heptanomia, about a boat from the Oxyrhynchite nome with a capacity of 600 artabas that he has sent to him. Its purpose is lost in the damaged lines. It was written around AD 302, apparently at Alexandria, and was found at Oxyrhynchus.
A skaphoproros is a boat with a bow shaped like a skiff; the exact type has no English equivalent. The purpose of sending the boat is lost in the damaged lines.
