An ostracon receipt from the granary of Karanis recording that Tanouphis son of Patas delivered two sacks of grain, carried on the pack animals of Dinnis, to the harbour of Leukogion. The grain was from the harvest of the 16th and 4th regnal years, and the receipt is dated Thoth 8, probably 5 September 308.

The double regnal date (year 16 and year 4) reflects the joint reigns of the period, which is the basis of the uncertain dating to 308. Leukogion was a river harbour in the Herakleopolite nome where grain from Karanis was shipped.
