A fragmentary Latin military record with a Greek heading, noting a payment or disbursement to men serving with the commanding officer (praepositus) Aurelius Rufinus. It quotes a receipt dated in a consulship of the emperor Probus (AD 277-282), recording a travel allowance of 84 (units lost) issued in January, apparently involving 'gentiles' (non-Roman auxiliaries).

In English machine translation

[… lines lost …] […] of the […]ctor […] […] […] to Sextus. I have noted it. 2. To those with Rufinus the praepositus […] of which the receipt (reads): "In the consulship of our lord Probus Augustus […] […] […] to the gentiles under […] at Tahona (?), on the 16th day before the Kalends of February […] the sum in the disbursement comes to […] eighty-four for travel allowance […] of Aurelius Rufinus, praepositus." I have noted it. […]

'Gentiles' here probably refers to troops or tribesmen of non-Roman origin; 'tahona' is obscure and may be a place name. The text mixes a Greek entry heading with a Latin quoted receipt.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Notiz aus dem Militärbereich). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
