Receipt issued by Flavius Theodosios, a soldier of the unit of Mauri stationed at Hermopolis, to Flavius Herminos, the unit's optio in charge of barley and chaff, acknowledging full payment of his monthly annona (rations) for a six-month period. It is dated 14 January 500 at Hermopolis.
The annona was the military ration allowance, here reckoned in capita (ration units); the optio was the officer responsible for distributing fodder and supplies. The opening χμγ is a common Christian monogram of uncertain meaning, often read as 'Christ born of Mary'.
