Notes on the Text

This brief Greek papyrus text appears to be a receipt or acknowledgment of goods received. The sender, Phileas, identifies himself as a farmer ("γεωργός") and addresses Sarmates, who is described as a landholder ("γεούχος"). The goods mentioned include milk (uncertain reading, abbreviated as "γάλ") and six eggs ("ᾠὰ ϛ"). The transaction was facilitated by Horos, who is identified as an overseer ("ἐπιμελητής"). The date is given as the 16th day of the Egyptian month Tybi, in the 80th year (possibly of an emperor's reign or an era).
