Request for payment for requisitioned wheat delivered by villagers of Pela TM 17575Pela (Oxyrhynchites)99 - 100 (?)

Declaration or petition to Dios, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from four villagers of Pela, stating that by order of the prefect Pompeius Planta they delivered requisitioned wheat (synagorastikos) from the previous year's harvest to the public granary. The surviving portion lists the delivered quantities; the document probably went on to request payment of the price.

In English machine translation

Synagorastikos wheat was grain compulsorily purchased by the state, for which the sellers were owed a price; the request for refund is inferred, since the end of the text is lost. The year number of Trajan's reign is lost.
