Fragmentary ostracon receipt for a delivery of 120 litras of chaff, signed by Souchidas. It belongs to a group of receipts for chaff from Karanis brought to a harbor, from the mid-4th century AD.
The opening lines are lost; the signature name Souchidas is partly restored. The litra was a weight unit of roughly a Roman pound.

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