An ostracon receipt recording grain delivered from the granary of Karanis, credited to a man named Satabous, carried by single donkey-loads on several days in Mecheir and Phamenoth. It probably dates to the early 4th century AD.

[of the 17th year and 16th year and] 9th year, in the name of Satabous […] Mecheir 26, 1 donkey(-load)
[…] 30, 1 donkey(-load), and Phamenoth 20, 1 donkey(-load).
[Year 18 and 17 and 10], Phamenoth.
The regnal years are counted in the joint reigns of the Tetrarchs, so several year numbers are given together. The restored heading for the granary is uncertain.
