An account of grain (in artabas) paid by several villages of the Oxyrhynchite nome, Herakleides' farmstead, Seryphis, Syron and Senokomis, for regnal years 13 and 14, with totals and deductions including an amount in the name of Dioskoros. It probably dates to AD 266-267.

In English machine translation

Year 13: Herakleides' farmstead (epoikion) 117 artabas, Seryphis 125 artabas, besides of dirty grain 26 artabas, Syron 28 artabas, Senokomis 12 3/4 (?) artabas, 6 choinikes, total 278 3/4 (?) artabas, 6 choinikes, besides 26 artabas of dirty grain. Year 14: Herakleides' farmstead 131 artabas, Seryphis 209 artabas, Syron 28 artabas, total 368 artabas. Total of the 2 accounts 646 artabas, dirty grain 26 artabas. Deducted: 229 artabas, with additional measures of 27 1/3 artabas, and in the name of Dioskoros, from 166 1/3 artabas, 111 artabas, with additional measures of 13 1/3 artabas, total 340 artabas, additional measures 40 2/3 artabas.

"Dirty" (rhyparos) grain means wheat not yet cleaned of impurities; the additional measures (prosmetroumena) are surcharges added to the basic amounts. The fractional signs in the Senokomis entry are read approximately.
