Description

One of a series of fragmentary accounts concerning the woodwork and painting of a large house, possibly belonging to Diotimos. The text is a statement of the sum due to the encaustic painters Artemidoros and Demetrios for their work on the exedra and two rooms, of the sums which they have already received through the local bank and of the materials supplied to them. It was stipulated in the agreement that they should furnish the materials themselves, so the value of those supplied to them was deducted from their fee.
