The late Ptolemaic document from the Freiburg papyrus collection published here for the first time is an order to distribute bread loaves. Fully preserved, it is of particular interest for its lexicographical novelties, such as the hitherto unattested adjective χοινικιεῖος. The article further discusses the origin, nature, and use of ὁλοπυρῖται ἄρτοι, “loaves of unground wheat,” and corrects editions of papyri mentioning ἄρτοι χοινικαῖοι (CPR I 31, P.Duke inv. 85 and P.Oxy. XXIV 2424 descr.).
