A receipt issued by Flavius Psates, quartermaster (actuarius) of the military unit stationed at Antaiopolis, through his deputy Ioannes, to the village headmen of Aphrodite. It acknowledges payment of the eighth-indiction military supplies (annona): 170 artabas of grain commuted to gold and 8,750 units of wine-and-meat ration, 5,000 of them paid in gold. It belongs to the archive of Dioskoros of Aphrodito.
The actuarius was the officer responsible for soldiers' supplies; 'oinokreas' is a combined wine-and-meat ration, often commuted into gold. The opening lines are entirely restored from the parallel subscription.
