A short receipt recording that a woman named Euodia received two pounds of flax, weighed on the Alexandrian standard, on account of linen tunics. It dates to Choiak 11 of an eleventh indiction year, in the 7th or 8th century AD, from the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

† Choiak 11, 11th indiction. Euodia has received, on account of linen tunics, two pounds of flax by the Alexandrian steelyard, total 2 pounds only.

The kampanos was a steelyard balance; 'by the Alexandrian kampanos' refers to the weight standard used. The flax was presumably supplied for weaving the tunics.
