An order from Leontas son of Didymos to the granary official Diogenes, telling him to transfer 130 artabas of wheat from Leontas' deposit to the account of Saras and Theogenes, children of Theogenes. It was written in the Oxyrhynchite nome in August AD 123.

In English machine translation

Leontas son of Didymos to Diogenes, sitologos of the eastern toparchy, Phoboou district, greetings. Transfer from the wheat which you hold on deposit for me, of the produce of the current 7th year of Hadrian Caesar the lord, one hundred and thirty artabas, total 130 artabas of wheat, to Saras and Theogenes, both children of Theogenes. Year 7 of Imperator Caesar Traianus Hadrianus Augustus, Mesore 29.

A sitologos was a state granary official; such transfer orders (diastolika) worked much like cheques drawn on grain accounts.
