Fragment of an ostracon listing individuals with quantities of grain in artabas, probably payments or deliveries. One of the persons is described as a cavalryman. It dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD and comes from Karanis in the Fayum.
The artaba was the standard Egyptian dry measure for grain. The figure after Palemon is uncertain and may be part of a number rather than a complete amount.
