Fragment of a report by granary officials (sitologoi), apparently addressed to the strategos Apollonios, recording that 250 artabas of wheat from the current harvest were measured out to them by the tax collector of the metropolis. It is dated 6 June AD 115, probably at Hermopolis.

In English machine translation

[…] There were measured out [to us at the …] on the 12th of the month Pauni of the 18th [year] of Trajan Optimus, from the produce [of the same year], by the collector (praktor) of the metropolis, 250 artabas of wheat, [total] 250 artabas [of wheat]. Year 18 of Imperator Caesar [Nerva] Trajan Optimus Augustus [Germanicus] Dacicus, month [Pauni 12]. […]

The beginning, with the senders and addressee, is lost; the addressee Apollonios is known from the related records. A praktor was a tax collector responsible for delivering grain dues to the state granary.
