A fragmentary acknowledgement of debt from Hermopolis, dated 11 April 454, in which Aurelius Marinus, a receiver of supplies, admits owing the illustrious Flavius Hierakion the price of 100 knidia of wine, apparently 50,000 talents of silver. The transaction was handled through Dorotheos, a wine-receiver.
A knidion was a standard wine jar measure. The dating 'after the consulship' of Vincomalus and Opilio (consuls of 453) refers to the year 454, and the end of the document, with its terms of repayment, is lost.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Acknowledgement of debt for price of wine). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
