Ostracon receipt recording that one twelfth of an artaba of wheat from the harvest of Septimius Severus' third year was delivered to the metropolitan granary on behalf of Charax in the name of Psensenamounis son of Horos. It is dated Epeiph 2, 26 June AD 195, and signed by an official named Her(…).
The reading of the place name Charax (abbreviated in the text) and the numeral are uncertain, since 'twelfth' is written out while the total gives 12, which could mean 12 artabas. The signer's name Her(…) is abbreviated and cannot be completed with certainty.
