Ostracon receipt issued by Phthouminis and his associates, collectors of chaff at the metropolis (Thebes), acknowledging delivery of one load of chaff from the harvest of year 11 by a man whose father was Asklas. Dated 23 August 149 AD, in the reign of Antoninus Pius, and signed by Pephis.
The akhyropraktores were officials who collected chaff (used as fuel and fodder) as a levy; a gomos is a donkey-load. The payer's name is largely lost.
