Fragment of a payment order of the 5th century AD, probably from the Arsinoite nome. It concerns 21 artabas of grain, routed through Makarios and the comes Theodoros, for Phoibammon son of Symmachos, a cellarer, apparently for feeding birds, dated Mecheir 15 of a second indiction.

In English machine translation

[…] […] through Makarios […] through the comes Theodoros […] and the (amounts) assigned (?) to Phoibammon son of Symmachos, cellarer, for the feeding of the birds (?) … in grain, twenty-one artabas, by the cancellus measure, 21 artabas … only. Mecheir 15, 2nd indiction, second indiction. […]

The cancellus measure was a standard grain measure of Late Antiquity. The reading 'for feeding of birds' rests on abbreviations and is uncertain.
