A fragmentary ostracon from Elephantine containing a payment order. Hatres, a temple official (prostates) of the god Chnoubammon, instructs Onnophris, prostates of the goddess Hera, to pay out something, apparently money, to or on behalf of Pachoumis son of Philammon for a certain month.

In English machine translation

Hatres […], prostates of Chnoubammon, the greatest god, to Onnophris, prostates of Hera, the greatest goddess, greeting. Pay out […] Pachoumis son of Philammon […] for the month […]

A prostates was a temple administrator or overseer; Hera here probably stands for a local Egyptian goddess such as Satet. The name Pachoumis and the gods' titles are largely restored.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Ordre de paiement en espèces). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
