An order by Dionysios son of Dionysios to the grain officials (sitologoi) of the Syron Kome district instructing them to transfer 7 artabas of wheat from his deposit account to Diogenes son of Philiskos. It was written on 8 October 133 in the Oxyrhynchite nome.
Sitologoi were officials managing public granaries, where individuals held grain accounts 'on deposit' (en themati) that could be transferred by written order. The intermediary Diogenes is described as a misthotes, a hired man or lessee, of the Korobis area.
