Fragmentary ostracon bank receipt recording a payment made on Epeiph 11 to the royal bank at Syene, headed by Antigenes, apparently for a tax connected with fruit-bearing trees in the 'Libya' district. It dates to the mid-3rd century BC and comes from Elephantine.

The term akrodrya covers fruit and nut trees or their produce; 'Libya' here probably refers to the western side of the Nile region rather than the country.
