Ostracon receipt from Thebes recording that Esminis son of Hereus and Tphous paid 2 drachmas toward the levy for the annona, assessed as a money price for wheat. It is dated Hathyr 25 of a regnal year 24 and signed by a clerk whose name is abbreviated Dek.
The annona was a levy in kind for state supplies; here it is paid in money as the price of wheat. The signatory's name is abbreviated in the text and cannot be fully read.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Receipt for Annona). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
