A fragmentary customs pass from Berenike on the Red Sea, addressed to Andouros, an official of the quintana, ordering him to let through goods, apparently Italian wine jars, for Tiberius Claudius Dorion and someone named Haryothes. It dates roughly to AD 33-70.

The quintanensis was an official connected with the quintana, apparently a tax or customs post at Berenike. 'Italika' refers to Italian wine jars, and the quantity is lost.
