To Aurelius Dioscurides, also called Julianus, strategos (governor) of Oxyrhynchus,
[from Aurelius ...] and ...ches, also called San-..., both having become village heads (komarchs) of the village of Tychinphagoi:
We have received and have had counted out to us from Aurelius Plution, also called Sarapion, public banker of Oxyrhynchus,
by your order, you being the strategos of the nome, the things we requested to be sent and provided as travel expenses for us,
in payment for the wool we supplied for transport to the Thebaid, partly through Sotus, overseer of bundles, 37½ (bundles), and partly through Niketas, another overseer of bundles, 8 (bundles); total wool bundles: 45½.
This document is a fragmentary administrative papyrus from Oxyrhynchus, Egypt, dating from the Roman period (early 4th century CE). It records a transaction involving wool supplied for transport to the Thebaid region, with payment arranged through local officials and bankers.
