A receipt issued by Leonides, a monthly official (meniarches), to Komon son of Thonios, acknowledging a quantity, apparently forty-two and a half modii, against a former account. It was written at Oxyrhynchus in the second half of AD 328.
The regnal date 'year 22 and 12 and 4' refers to the joint reigns of Constantine and his Caesars, corresponding to AD 327/8. The meniarches was a guild or trade official serving for a month; the trade word (perhaps flax-workers) is damaged and uncertain.
