P.Apoll. 99
The list of recipients of vegetable measures from a total of 42 artabas includes also a reader, a carpenter, and a camel driver. While they seem to receive their amounts as payment, the two institutions dedicated to the saints presumably acquire it as a donation. Lines 1–3 read as follows:
