English Translation

To Aurelius Philiarchus, also called Horion, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from Aurelius Aniketos Olbanos, from the splendid and most splendid city of the Oxyrhynchites, captain of a Greek ship, heir of Teiron's transport (of grain), (amounting to) 350 artabas. I have received and loaded onto the aforementioned ship, according to the letters of Ulpius Kyrillos, the most distinguished catholicus, from Aurelius Demetrianus, who is also acting as decaprotius of the middle toparchy, seventy-five artabas of new, clean, sifted barley, which are from the village of Herakleion. These I will transport to the most splendid Alexandria and deliver to whomever I am instructed, and I will obtain receipts for the delivery, since I have been fully paid for all expenses. The triple receipt issued is valid, of which I have given two copies to you, the strategos, and one copy to the decaprotius, and upon being questioned, I have acknowledged this. Year 2 of Emperor Caesar Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletianus and year 1 of Emperor Caesar Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maximianus, the Pious, Fortunate Augusti, Pauni 18.

(Second hand) I, Aurelius Aneikteos Olbanos, have received and measured out the aforementioned seventy-five artabas of barley, and I will transport and deliver them as stated above. I, Aurelius Silvanus, son of Ammonius, wrote on his behalf, as he does not know letters.
