Fragment of a list recording sums of money paid by or credited to various individuals, among them a soldier, a scholastikos (lawyer), a navarch (ship commander), a sailor and an assistant. The amounts are reckoned in myriads of denarii, typical of the high inflation of the late 4th century AD; the provenance is unknown.

In English machine translation

[…] … of Patronios […]…ops […]erios, soldier, 600 myriads of denarii […] of Gaius, 700 myriads of denarii […]gios, scholastikos […] … […] 1,000 myriads of denarii […] of Heraklianos, 600 myriads of denarii […]onios, navarch, 400 myriads of denarii […]nos, sailor, 300 myriads of denarii […] of Christodoros son of Didyminos, 500 myriads of denarii […] assistant, 500 myriads of denarii […]xol[…]kos, […] myriads of denarii […]

A myriad is 10,000, so 600 myriads equals 6,000,000 denarii. A scholastikos was a person trained in law, often an advocate.
