An order from Thrasymedes to Herakleitos, probably a granary official, to pay out 75 artabas of barley as an allowance (syntaxis) for a place in Oxyrhyncha, following a memorandum connected with Sostratos, and to draw up a receipt. It comes from Ghoran in the Arsinoite nome (Fayum) and dates to the reign of Ptolemy II.

In English machine translation

Thrasymedes to Herakleitos, greeting. Measure out, in accordance with the [memorandum] from […] of the man from Sostratos […] … of Phatres (?) to the [temple (?)] in Oxy[rhyncha] […] and the appurtenances […] the allowance (syntaxis), 75 artabas of barley, [and] make out a [receipt] with [him]. […]

Oxyrhyncha here is the Fayum village, not the city of Oxyrhynchus. Syntaxis is a regular allowance, often for temples or their staff.
