A fragment of an order or receipt concerning seed grain for a farmer cultivating land, apparently 1 artaba of wheat for 1 aroura. It is dated to Hathyr 28 and 29 of a regnal year of Caesar (Augustus), from the Herakleopolite nome, around 8-2 BC.

[…] of seed […] for the arouras which he farms
[…] … 1 aroura
[…] … from him the due (amounts)
[…] of Caesar, Hathyr 28
[…] the aforementioned
[…] one, total 1 artaba of wheat
[…] Hathyr 29
The word read as "…phthol" before the area is unclear and may be part of a place or field name. The total of 1 artaba of wheat for 1 aroura matches the usual seed-loan rate.
