A short ostracon receipt recording that Artemidoros son of Phokas delivered or transported four sacks, presumably of grain. It is dated to year 5, in the month Pauni, and probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum in the 3rd century AD.
The text does not name the contents of the sacks; the catalogue's description as grain transport to a harbor comes from the comparable receipts in this group. The day of the month is illegible.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Receipt for Transport of Grain). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
