[recto]
From Nemesammon to Maximus, agent, greetings.
Give to the donkey-driver of the brother of the most excellent procurator of the ousia estates 2 artabas of barley, total 2 artabas of barley. I have signed for 2 artabas of barley.
Year 5, Pauni 12.

To the agent.
The ousiakos was the official administering the ousiai, imperial estate lands; the barley was probably fodder for the donkey-driver's animals. The regnal year is not tied to a named emperor.
