A short business letter or payment order from Athenodoros to Eurylochos, asking him to pay Antonios 2000 silver drachmas to match a sum Athenodoros had received from Antonios in the Herakleopolite nome from the account of the katoikoi's arithmetikon tax.
The arithmetikon was a tax levied on katoikoi (military settlers); the phrase 'from the account of the arithmetikon' was written twice and the repetition deleted by the scribe. The text seems to lack a word after 'Antonios'.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
