An ostracon receipt from the village granary of Karanis recording that Priscus, through Tatisis, delivered one donkey-load of barley at the harbour of Leukogion toward the tax quota (canon) of years 17 and 5. It probably dates to AD 309/310.
In English machine translation
Granary of the village of Karanis.
For the canon of year 17 and year 5, Priscus transferred, through Tatisis, at the harbour of Leukogion, barley: one donkey-load, total 1.
The double regnal year (17 and 5) points to the joint reigns of the early 4th century, hence the probable date of 309/310. 'Canon' refers to the annual quota of grain owed as tax in kind.
