Apollonios, agent of Archias, to Onnophris, stonemason of the division of Themistos, greeting. I have received from you on behalf of Archias for the masons' tax, together with the 40 drachmas of silver given to Ammonarion son of Eirenaios, 2 talents 4000 (?) of bronze, to make up the full sum of 5 talents of bronze, total 5 talents of bronze. Year 24, Pauni 19.
