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.
Oxyrhyncha here is the Fayum village, not the city of Oxyrhynchus. Syntaxis is a regular allowance, often for temples or their staff.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Ordre de versement en nature). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
