A private account of wheat, probably written by the cavalry officer Dryton, recording rent from island land and transport charges, small issues of grain and castor seed to Myrsine (including when she gave birth), and where the remaining wheat was stored, in bins, a shrine chamber and on a roof. It likely comes from Pathyris in Upper Egypt.
