An order from Sarmates to Serenilla to give one double jar of wine to the physician Pekylos as payment, written at Oxyrhynchus in February 347. The other side bears a heading naming the allotment (kleros) of Xenon.

In English machine translation

[recto] Allotment of Xenon. […] [verso] Sarmates to Serenilla, greeting. Supply to Pekylos, physician, for the price of (?) […] 1 double jar of wine. I have signed: 1 double jar of wine only. Year 41, 23, 14, Mecheir 23.

The date uses regnal-year numbers of the reigning emperors (41, 23, 14) rather than a single year. The item being paid for is damaged; the restoration as 'spathia' is uncertain, and a 'double jar' (diplokeramon) is a standard wine measure.

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 of Wine). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
