A fragment of a Greek document from Late Antique Egypt in which someone declares himself satisfied regarding a quantity measured in pounds (thirty, then 38), apparently of a clean, processed commodity, to be delivered to a respected addressee in the village in the month of Pauni of the sixth indiction. It may be a delivery undertaking or receipt.

In English machine translation

[…] […] I am satisfied […] thirty pounds […] […] at Antioch (?) 38 pounds, which [wool (?)] of the same […] […] clean, washed (?) […] […] to your admirableness […] […] of the village in the month of Pauni […] of the present sixth [indiction] […] […]

The word read as 'erean' is probably a misspelling of 'erean' for 'wool' (eria), and 'pepl\u0113men\u0113n' may stand for 'washed' (peplymen\u0113n); both readings are uncertain. The genre is inferred from the formula 'I am satisfied' and the future delivery date.
