A short business letter on an ostracon from Pebos to Lelous about grain measurements. Pebos reports receiving a measure of wheat credited to Demetrios son of Imouthes on Epeiph 22 and asks Lelous to write to Psenminis son of Onnophris for the same amount again, without delay.
The sender's name appears in the genitive (Pebotios); the nominative may be Pebos or Pebotis. The fractions 1/2 1/12 follow the usual artaba notation for wheat.
