An account of wheat in artabas collected from villages grouped by toparchy (Kousseitou Lower, Leukopyrgeitou Upper, Patemitou Lower) in the Hermopolite nome, totalling 806 1/2 artabas. It ends with a receipt subscription by Aurelius Dioskourides son of Silvanus, former euthenearch and dekaprotos, acknowledging the measured wheat. Third century AD, Hermopolis.
The diastole was an official order specifying deliveries; the dekaprotoi were liturgical officials responsible for grain collection. Some fractions and village names are damaged and uncertain.
