An order from Arsinoos to the banker Sarapion to pay 600 drachmas to Aneiketos, a copyist, for making a copy of a memorandum belonging to Arsinoos. It is dated to year 7, in the month Phamenoth, and comes from Oxyrhynchus in the 3rd century AD.
The orthographos was a professional scribe or copyist; 'ekl\u0113psis' here refers to taking out (copying) a document. The lines after the date, including a mention of wine, are fragmentary, and the verso is illegible.

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