An account of wheat, barley, lentils and bitter vetch bought from the villages of Theoxenis and Andromachis in the Arsinoite nome, with totals in artabas. It dates to the mid-4th century AD and is part of the Abinnaeus archive, probably from Philadelphia.
"Cheirographa" are handwritten bonds or acknowledgements, here apparently the documents under which the grain was bought. The final lentil figure is written "26 6", which may be a slip for 26 1/5 as given above.
