Herois and Manes, of the produce of year 7, from the granary of Karanis, by means of public animals, ten sacks.
Year 1, Pharmouthi 30.
The harvest is of year 7 but the receipt is dated year 1, which suggests the delivery took place under a new reign. The 'public animals' were state-owned donkeys or camels used to carry tax grain to the harbour.
