Fragment of a receipt addressed by the farmer Phileas to the landowner Sarmates, acknowledging something received from him. It comes from the Small Oasis (Bahariya) and dates to AD 403-404.

In English machine translation

To Sarmates, [his own landowner, Isak (?)], Phileas, [farmer, greetings. I have received] from y[ou] […] […] Year 80 […] [margin] Thamysth… tap…[…]

The year 80 probably belongs to a local era used in the Oasis rather than a regnal year. Most of the address formula is restored on the model of similar receipts in the same archive.
