Description

Acknowledgment, made by four sitologoi of Karanis to two apodektai of the harbor of Leukogion, that they have received from them a loan of 417 artabai of wheat for a few days, probably a legal device to allow the sitologoi additional time in which to collect and pay tax grain due in arrears
