An account recording wagonloads of barley and wheat harvested in year 12, part of the wheat divided among farmers under the supervision of Hermias and the rest transported to Pathyris. The back has a list of names dated Phamenoth 5 and a short account of wine, perfume and a payment to a pastophoros (shrine-bearer). From around 180 BC, probably from Pathyris.
The wheat rate per wagon (5 artabas) and its total are supplied by the editor to make the arithmetic work. A pastophoros was a temple official who carried shrines in processions.
