Two orders issued by Phoibammon, a comes, and Samuel, instructing a supplier to provide wine: 80 double jars for the holy monks to drink at Christmas, and 8 double jars for the prisons at the beginning of Tybi. Both are dated Tybi 19 of the tenth indiction, 14 January 517, at Oxyrhynchus.
The year numbers 193 and 162 are the Oxyrhynchite era years (of Constantius and Julian). A diplon was a standard wine jar of 'double' capacity; 'peribleptos' ('distinguished') is an honorific title.
