An ostracon receipt recording a delivery of wheat to the metropolis granary from the harvest of year 21 of Antoninus Pius, credited to the village of Charax in the name of a man whose name is mostly lost. It is dated Pauni 3 (28 May 158) and signed by Sabinus.

In English machine translation

[Measured into the granary] of the metropolis, of the produce of year 21 of Antoninus [Caesar the] lord, Pauni 3, on behalf of Charax, in the name of […]…phis … […] one quarter of wheat, total 1/4 (artaba) of wheat. I, Sabinus, have signed.

Charax is a village name, likely in the Theban region where such ostraca originate. The total sign is followed by the symbol for 1/4, here rendered as a quarter artaba.
