A short order from Hierax instructing someone to provide goods or payments to Silvanus, a wool-worker. It is dated by the triple regnal year 41/23/14, corresponding to AD 346-347, and probably comes from the Oxyrhynchite nome.

In English machine translation

From Hierax son of Dio[…] Provide to Silvanus the wool-worker […] Provide to the same Silvanus […] Year 41 and 23 and 14.

The year formula 41, 23, 14 is an Oxyrhynchite era dating counted from the accessions of Constantius II and Constans, used in the 4th century. What was to be provided is lost in the breaks.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Order for Payment). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
