An order for payment in which Hermias instructs Anoubion to pay 400 silver drachmas to Euangelos also called Herodianos, in return for a sum received from the banker Anoubion son of Sarapion. It is dated to 20 November 181 AD, in the reign of Commodus; a fragmentary first column preceded it.
Year 22 is counted from Marcus Aurelius's reign, as Commodus's regnal years continued his father's. "In number and weight" guarantees full-value coinage.
