An account of wheat transported by donkey caravans in the Arsinoite nome (Fayum), from Pauni 19 to Mesore 7. It totals 1734 donkey-loads carrying 5202 artabas, broken down by public donkeys of villages such as Narmouthis, Ibion Argaiou and Magdola, and by other donkeys supplied through farmers of the division of Berenikis.

Each donkey-load here is reckoned at 3 artabas of wheat, so the figures consistently multiply. Katagoge refers to the transport of state grain down to the harbours for shipment.
