A fragment of a wine account listing quantities of wine, measured in sekomata, handed out through agents such as Jacob son of Paeies and a vinedresser named Jacob to various recipients, including a chief attendant, a messenger and a weigher. It comes from the Oxyrhynchite nome in the 7th century AD.
A sekoma is a measure of wine whose exact size varied. The symmachos was a courier or messenger on large estates, not literally an ally.
