A sheet of payment orders issued by Phoibammon, a man of senatorial rank, to his steward Kopres at Oxyrhynchus. They authorize payments in grain and gold to farmers and a carpenter working on a cistern machine, and 3 solidi to the carpet-maker Theon for a pair of rugs for the priest Petros of the church of the Kaisareion.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] Phoibammon, vir clarissimus, […] provide […] 4 artabas of grain. To the carpenter working on the axle (?) of the machine of the cistern, of Psyros and Banes and partners, farmers, for wages […] and of the carpenter, 1 1/2 gold solidi and 6 artabas of grain. Year 82/51, Tybi 20. Isak Ba[…], I have signed. […] solidi. To Theon, carpet-maker. […] Phoibammon, vir clarissimus, to Kopres, steward, greetings.

I, Phoibammon, vir clarissimus, have signed. […] To Therinos and partners […] […]

The years are given in the Oxyrhynchite double era (years 82/51 and 83/52). 'Dimalloi' are double-fleeced woollen rugs or blankets; 'lamprotatos' renders the honorific clarissimus.
