Fragment of a document from Panopolis, dated AD 184-185, mentioning a payment in silver drachmas made on behalf of a certain Zoilos and a woman named Thasies. The dating clause refers to the emperor Commodus by his title Britannicus Maximus.

The imperial titulature with Britannicus Maximus points to Commodus, who took that title in 184. The exact nature of the document (receipt or contract) is uncertain because so little survives.
