A rent receipt in which Aurelia Syra, also called Isarion and surnamed Severa, acknowledges receiving from Melas 15 artabas of wheat as rent for 4 arouras of land near the village of Pharbaitha for the 24th regnal year. It dates to AD 215-216, from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome.
The 24th year is presumably that of Caracalla, giving AD 215-216. The rent (ekphorion) is paid in kind, here in wheat.
