An order from Aelianus to Apollonios, the official receiver of wine, to issue wine for various purposes, including meals, a sacrifice, and deliveries to Hierax and Chairephanes, totalling 32 knidia. It dates to the early 4th century AD, from Pesla in the Hermopolite nome or Hermopolis.
A knidion was a wine jar of standard capacity, originally named after jars from Knidos. The scribe deleted 'give' and replaced it with the more formal 'supply'.
