A short written order from Antiochos to Eudaimon, instructing him to issue one jar of lubricating oil to Harpokration, the estate manager at Sento, for use on the machinery of an olive-pulp press. It is dated Year 10, Mesore 18, and comes from the Oxyrhynchite nome.

Year 10, Mesore 18.
Gloios is a thick, low-grade oil or oily residue, here evidently used to grease the press. The stemphylourgikon organon is a press for olive or grape pulp (stemphyla); 'brother' may be a courtesy form of address.
