A short ostracon memorandum from Berenike on the Red Sea recording that Peteasmephis handled a quantity of Laodicean wine, charged to the account of Gaius Iulius Epaphroditos. It probably belongs to the customs or shipping records for wine passing through the port in the mid-1st century AD.

"Laodicean" refers to wine jars from Laodicea in Syria, a common import. The quantity and the word "account" at the end are lost or restored.
