Fragmentary account of wine issued in knidia jars by order of the master of an estate in the Hermopolite nome, 4th century AD. Recipients include craftsmen such as linen-weavers, tarsikarioi and a carpet-maker, a cook, stable guards, villagers of Berky and the strategos' assistants, with some issues for family birthdays.

Knidia are wine jars, originally of Knidian type, used as a unit of measure. Tarsikarioi were weavers of a particular fine fabric; the meaning of 'sippocheiristai' and the reading 'phorba' are uncertain.
