A granary receipt recording wheat from the harvest of year 6 of Emperor Gordian III delivered to the metropolis granary on behalf of the village of Charax, in the name of Pekysis son of Psansnos, elder, of Askleia. The total is 2 3/4 artabas, and the receipt is signed by Aurelius Dioskoros.
Charax is the editor's expansion of an abbreviation and is taken here as a village name. The word written 'hypol' is unexplained; the arithmetic does not quite fit, since 1 3/4 plus 1 makes 2 3/4.
