Fragmentary official account of grain (wheat and barley) held in state granaries, under the responsibility of grain collectors and officials including Claudius Apollonianus and the royal scribe Artemidoros. It records quantities from the produce of year 8 and refers to measurements and transfers between successive officials, in the reign of Antoninus (Pius), from the Mendes area.
