In English machine translation
To Maron, from Anes son of Trophimos, greetings. 1,400 talents of silver for 1 chous of oil, to the lord brother Ammonios … singularis.
I, Agesilaos, have signed.
A singularis was a soldier or official's aide detached for special duties; the huge sum in talents reflects the inflation of the 4th century AD. A chous is a liquid measure of roughly 3 litres.
