Fragmentary receipt issued by an overseer (epiteretes) of an estate (ousia) for small payments in drachmas and obols made in the name of Ammonios and others, including Petechnoumis. It is dated in the joint reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, AD 166-169, in Upper Egypt.

In English machine translation

[…]neus, overseer […] estate […] in the name of Ammonios […] 1 drachma, bronze, 1/2 obol, and […] 4 1/2 obols, and […] Petechnoumis and […] total 2 drachmas, bronze, and of the […] Petesenis(?) [Year …] of [Aurelii] Antoninus and Verus [the lords Augusti] Armeniaci [Medici Parth]ici Maximi […]

An epiteretes ousias was a supervisor appointed to collect revenues from imperial or confiscated estates (ousiai). The left side of every line is lost, so the purpose of the individual payments is unknown.
