A short payment order issued by Strategios, instructing that Herakleios, a hut-builder working on the anakleton (a structure, perhaps a stand or gallery) of some building, be paid 150 myriads of silver denarii as the price of 2 sextarii of oil. It is dated 9 March 439 at Oxyrhynchus.
The date uses the Oxyrhynchite era years 115 and 84. The anakleton was probably a raised stand or similar structure, but its exact nature is uncertain.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Order to Pay). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
