Receipt issued by a military unit acknowledging an order from the dux of the Thebaid, Flavius Herakleios Dorotheos ... Zenodotos, to enroll a recruit in the unit's official roll from 8 January 514. It is countersigned by the actuarius Flavius Georgios and closes with a Latin farewell.
The matrix was the official register of soldiers in a unit; the actuarius was the officer in charge of supplies and records. The beginning, with the names of the recruit and issuing officer, is lost.
