Official account of deliveries, [215].

Official account of deliveries from Boubastos(?), Egypt, written on papyrus. Account of deliveries of government supplies of wheat, barley and radish oil and of the expenses incurred for these deliveries. Expenses include transportation costs. Mentions granaries, samples of the produce and sifting. The deliveries are referred to by the name of the deliverer (Harsiesis, Neilos, Theodoros, Anoubion, Horion, Sarapion, Isidoros, Triadelphos, and someone whose name begins with "Ailour"). Some of the deliveries are apparently late deliveries to cover the expenses for bread baked for the celebration of the visit to Egypt of the emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla in 199/200 A.D. Mentions several prefects of Egypt including Maecius Laetus (200-203 A.D.), Subatianus Aquila (206-210 A.D.), Baebius Iuncinus (212-213 A.D.) and Aurelius Septimius (Heraclitus; 215 A.D.). Refers sometimes to the prefecture. Mentions occasionally the Pharbaithites. Refers to years 13 and 14 of Septimius Severus (204/205 A.D. and 205/206 A.D.).

1 item : carbonized papyrus, numerous partly joining fragments, mounted in 29 frames of glass, incomplete.
