A set of receipts from Karanis issued to Aion son of Sarapion for payments made for the twelfth indiction: wages for four months received by Aurelius Timotheos, a payment for clothing to Patermouthis, and one month's wage received by Aurelius Antonios, messenger of Theoninos. The sums are in talents, typical of mid-4th-century inflation.

One record dates the text to 363-364 instead of 354, both possible twelfth indiction years. A riparius was a local police official and a symmachos a messenger or courier; the reading of 'monopos' (one-eyed) as a descriptor is uncertain.
