Receipt recording a small delivery of wheat into the granary of the metropolis on behalf of a woman named Senesminis, credited to the Third Agora quarter. It is dated by the first regnal year of the usurper Pescennius Niger, 17 July 193.
The dating by Pescennius Niger, who claimed the throne in 193 and was recognised in Egypt for a short time, makes the text historically notable. The fractions are read here as 1/3 and 1/12 of an artaba, and the signer's name is largely illegible.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Granary Receipt). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
