Notes

This papyrus fragment is a grain receipt or measurement record from Roman Egypt, specifically mentioning Emperor Domitian (81–96 CE). It records the measurement of wheat (πυρός) in artabas (ἀρτάβαι), a common Egyptian grain measure. The text is fragmentary, and some words and names are incomplete or uncertain.
