An order from Herakleides son of Herakleides of Oxyrhynchus to the grain officials (sitologoi) of the Upper toparchy, instructing them to transfer 50 artabas of wheat from his deposit of the previous year's harvest to Theon son of Theon and Petronios. It is dated in the 23rd year of Antoninus Pius, 8 December 159.
Sitologoi were officials managing state granaries, where private individuals could hold grain on deposit (thema) and order transfers like a bank account. Hadrianos was an honorific name for the month Choiak.
