An order from Heras, secretary of the gymnasiarch Julius Theon, instructing the granary officials (sitologoi) of the Phoboou district to transfer 600 artabas of wheat from Theon's grain account to Ptolemaios son of Sarapion. It dates to the reign of Hadrian, AD 122-123, in the Oxyrhynchite nome.

In English machine translation

Such transfer orders worked much like bank cheques on a private grain deposit (thema) held in the state granary. Sitologoi were the officials in charge of the public granaries.
