Subscription to an order for payment of 10 artabas of wheat TM 643042Nilopolis

The surviving end of an order to a granary official: the scribe of the Greek cattle-keepers at Nilou Polis instructs the sitologos Asklepiades to measure out 10 artabas of wheat to certain persons, apparently including a village guard. It is dated Year 10, Mesore 4, and comes from Nilopolis in the Fayum.
