An ostracon receipt recording wheat deposited in the village granary at Thebes from the harvest of year 17 of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus. The payment was made for Charax in the name of Marcus Clodius Alexander also called Gaianus, through the farmer Pekysis son of Phaeris, in two instalments of 7 and 11 artabas, each signed by Amonios.
Charax is a locality (district) in the Theban area; the units, artabas of wheat, are implied by the wheat symbol. The payer acts as farmer (georgos) on land registered to a Roman citizen.
