Fragment of the witnesses' subscriptions to a deed of gift made to the holy church of Ravenna in the second half of the 6th century AD.

In English machine translation

Only the end of the document with the witnesses' formulaic subscriptions survives; the gift itself is lost. A collectarius was a banker or money-changer, and v(ir) d(evotus) and v(ir) h(onestus) are rank titles with no exact English equivalent.
