An ostracon receipt for wheat delivered to the granary of the metropolis from the harvest of year 4 of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. It records deliveries on several days of Pauni made in the names of Sarapammon and Pikos through farmers, for city quarters called South and Charax.
The quantities are in artabas, which the text leaves implicit. The beginning and end of the ostracon are lost, and the term written 'one twelfth' and the figure 12 disagree in the edition, so the second amount is uncertain; Notos (South) and Charax appear to be quarters of the metropolis.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
