Fragmentary order, or pair of orders, to deliver 10 artabas of wheat, probably seed grain, with instructions to obtain the proper handwritten acknowledgments from the recipient. It comes from the Herakleopolite nome and is dated Hathyr 12 and 19 of year 23 of Caesar (Augustus), i.e. 8 BC.

The two dates suggest two successive orders on the same sheet. A cheirographia is a signed handwritten acknowledgment, here a receipt for the grain.
