A short ostracon receipt recording the delivery of two sacks of grain from the produce of year 2, from the granary of the boundary district of Karanis, carried by Horos. It dates to Phaophi 28 of year 4, probably in the late 3rd century AD at Karanis.
In English machine translation
Year 4, Phaophi 28, of the produce of year 2,
[granary] of the boundary-marking district (horiodeiktia) of Karanis, through Horos, 2 sacks.
The scribe first miswrote the word horiodeiktia (a district defined by boundary-marking, a survey term with no exact English equivalent) and then wrote it correctly. The word 'granary' at the start of line 2 is restored.
