An order from Eudaimon, a comes, to Hermapollon instructing him to deliver 150 artabas of wheat, measured by the cancellus measure, to the baker Heraas on account of the offering (prosphora). It was issued at Oxyrhynchus on 26 April 481.
The double year (157 and 126) follows the Oxyrhynchite eras used in this period. The cancellus measure was a standard grain measure, and prosphora here probably refers to a pious offering or donation of grain.
