A brief ostracon receipt recording seventeen sacks delivered or transported by Ptolemaios son of Julianus and Apolinarion son of Motis. It is dated Year 3, Tybi 10, probably 5 January 278, and probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum.
The records describe this as a receipt for transport of grain to a harbor, although the text itself mentions only sacks. The regnal year 3 has been taken as 278 rather than 285.
