A fragment of a private account book listing daily sums of money for the month of Pachon, followed by expenses for papyrus, wine, a shared contribution, a money-changing fee and pay to a sword-bearing guard named Patrobios. It dates to the 2nd century AD.
The machairophoros (sword-bearer) was an armed guard or police attendant. Kollybos was the fee charged for changing money, here for small coins.
