The receipt is valid, and having been asked the formal question we agreed.

We, Onnophris and Paesis and Paelenes, have been paid as stated above. I, Isidoros, wrote on their behalf since they do not know letters.

Deliver to Hermeias. […]
The 'hundredths' are a deduction from the payment; the arithmetic of the figures as written does not fully agree. 'Grammata' here are a weight unit for gold (scruples).
