Notes on the Text

This papyrus fragment appears to be a receipt or delivery note for olive oil, specifying quantities measured in "metretes" (an ancient Greek liquid measure). It dates from the fifth year of the reign of Antoninus Caesar (likely Antoninus Pius, Roman Emperor, 138–161 CE). The month mentioned is Mesore, an Egyptian month corresponding roughly to late summer (July-August).
