Notes on the Text

The text is a short business note or receipt from Tatianos addressed to Nepos, an oil-maker. It instructs Nepos to provide a certain quantity of oil (one xestes, a Greek measure) to a servant named Kyriake. The date is given according to the Egyptian calendar (Mecheir 17), along with a year number. The final line appears to be a confirmation or acknowledgment of receipt, though it contains scribal errors or unclear handwriting, as indicated by the editorial corrections in the apparatus criticus.
