Flavius Andreas], actuarius, through me, Psates son of Ioannes, former actuarius: this formalia is satisfactory to me [as stated above]. [verso] † Formalia of Andreas, actuarius

The actuarius was the officer handling soldiers' supplies; the annona militaris was the tax in kind for army provisions, here converted into gold. 'Formalia' is a technical term for a formal receipt.
