An acknowledgement of debt in which a villager from Atiasou declares to Ioannes, manager of a collegium, that he owes 5 1/2 carats of gold in arrears from the 9th indiction and will pay on demand. It was written on Tybi 20 of the 10th indiction, probably in the Hermopolite nome in the 6th century AD.
A pronoetes was an estate or property manager; 'collegium' here probably refers to a corporate body or guild. The debtor's name is lost and the provenance is uncertain.
