A fragmentary Coptic note from the monastery of Bawit in the Hermopolite nome, probably a payment order. It mentions 14 kadoi (jars) of wine and a sum of 2 2/3 solidi received from someone. It dates to the 7th or 8th century AD.

In English machine translation

[recto] […] give 14 kadoi of wine […] this year (?) […] […] I received 2 2/3 solidi from him. † […] [… ? lines lost …] [verso] † Give it to my brother […]

The verso line 'give it to my brother' is probably the address. The reading 'this year' for ⲛⲡⲉⲓⲥⲟⲛ is uncertain, and the fraction in the solidi figure may be read differently.

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 paiement (?)). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
