Fragment of a payment order or account note authorizing the issue of six knidia (jars) of wine, dated Pauni 27 of an indiction year. It comes from the Hermopolite nome, either Pesla or Hermopolis, in the early 4th century AD.
The knidion was a wine jar originally associated with Knidos, later a standard container measure. The word kallainos ('turquoise, green') may describe glazed vessels, and the final abbreviated verb is the usual instruction 'spend' in issue orders.
