A short written order from Horion to his assistant Papnouthios to issue 10 pounds of meat for the use of the staff (officiales) of a comes. It was written at Oxyrhynchus on 16 January 360 and signed by Horion.
The date 'year 36 and 5' is the Oxyrhynchite era reckoning (regnal years counted from Constantius II and Julian), equivalent to AD 360. A comes was a high-ranking imperial official and the officiales were his administrative staff.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Order from Horion to Papnuthis). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
