Opening of a receipt in which Aurelius Ariston of the village of Tampeti in the Oxyrhynchite nome acknowledges receiving from Aphyngios, a priest of the catholic church at Oxyrhynchus, the agreed price for a quantity of wool fleeces. Dated by the post-consulate of Theodosius II and Maximus, 7 September 434.
The text breaks off after the number of fleeces, so the quantity (five or more) and any later terms, such as an advance sale for future delivery, are lost. The name of the church, ending in -eros, is incomplete.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Receipt for fleeces). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
