A private household account of daily receipts and expenses from Oxyrhynchus, beginning on Choiak 1, listing small purchases of meat, fine bread, beans, vegetables, fish and papyrus, plus regular payments to a man called the Oasite and a daily allowance. It dates to the 2nd or 3rd century AD.
Diatage here is a regular allowance, probably a daily ration payment; 'the Oasite' is someone from the Oasis, perhaps a worker or servant paid each day.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
