A receipt in which Aurelius Appous acknowledges payment in full from Aurelius Paulus, on behalf of Demetria alias Kyrillous and Paulus' brother Ploution, of their assessed share of the cost of a donkey and an attendant sent to Memphis. It was written at Oxyrhynchus in AD 306.

In English machine translation

Aurelius Appous son of Apollotheon to Aurelius Paulus, greetings. I have received from you, on behalf of Demetria also called Kyrillous and on behalf of Ploution your brother, the sums apportioned in the name of Taposiris also called Amazonion, their share for a donkey and a rod-bearer (?) sent to the city of the Memphites, in full. Year 15, year 3, year 1, Choiak 4. I, Apphous, have signed.

The triple regnal year reflects the joint reigns of several emperors of the Tetrarchy. The rhabdouchos (literally rod-bearer) was apparently an attendant or escort accompanying the donkey.
