Fragment of a payment order instructing someone to give a sum of 300 myriads (of denarii) as the price of something. It is dated Mesore 8 of an indiction year and comes from Late Antique Egypt.

In English machine translation

[…] give as the price […] 300 myriads […] Mesore 8, […] indiction.

Myriads (units of 10,000) of denarii were the usual way of counting the heavily inflated money of the 4th century. The ordinal of the indiction is lost, and only the day, Mesore 8, survives.

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