A short customs pass or order addressed to Andouros, an official called quintanensis, instructing him to let through three Italian jars (probably of wine) for Peteminis, apparently on behalf of Tiberius Claudius Dorion. It was found in the Roman dump at the Red Sea port of Berenike and dates to the mid-1st century AD.
