A short ostracon receipt recording that Ammonianos, a veteran, delivered or transported 3 sacks (of grain). It is dated Year 4, Hathyr 28, probably AD 272 or 279, and probably comes from Karanis in the Arsinoite nome.
The opening word Psenyreos is a genitive, probably a place or person name heading the receipt; its exact function is unclear. The regnal year 4 allows either AD 272 or 279.
