[…] the amounts added by the komarchs of the following villages:
Of the division of Herakleides:
Philopator, 347 drachmas
Phanesis, 12 drachmas
Total, 359 drachmas
Of the division of Themistos:
Apollonias, […] drachmas
Magais, 4 drachmas

Komarchs were village headmen responsible for local administration and tax collection in the Roman and Late Antique period. The opening word is too damaged to know what action was being taken with these sums.
