A short order or note from Aelianus concerning the issue of wine, including 4 knidia to a xystarch (an official of athletic games) whose name ends in -mon, with a registration of 7 knidia. It dates to the early 4th century AD, from Pesla in the Hermopolite nome or from Hermopolis.
In English machine translation
From Aelianus.
[…] to […]mon the xystarch, 4 knidia of wine […]
I have noted 7 knidia of wine.
Spend (?) it.
A knidion is a wine jar, named after the Knidian type. The xystarch was the president of an athletic guild or games; the final word is a restored abbreviation, perhaps meaning "spend" or "charge to expenses".
