An order from Demetrios son of Diogenes to the granary official (sitologos) of the Monimou district in the Oxyrhynchite nome, instructing him to transfer wheat from his deposit account to two men, one of them connected with the Senecan estate. It is dated in year 18 of Hadrian.

In English machine translation

Demetrios son of Diogenes to the sitologos of the district of Monimou, greetings. Transfer, from the wheat of the produce of year 17 of Hadrian Caesar the lord which you hold on deposit in my name, to Apollonios son of Demetrios, of the Senecan estate, half an artaba, total 1/2 artaba. Year 18 of Hadrian Caesar the lord, Phaophi 10. To Apollonios son of Eutychides, an artaba half and quarter and 9 choinikes, total together 3/4 artaba 9 choinikes. Same date.

The text gives Phaophi 10, which would fall in October, while the records give 7 December 133; the discrepancy is not explained here. The second amount is literally 'half, quarter' of an artaba, summed as 3/4 artaba 9 choinikes; the Senecan estate (ousia) was an imperial property originally belonging to Seneca.
