A short order addressed to Neilammon, an estate or revenue manager (epimeletes), instructing him to credit a payment made on behalf of the beneficiarius Theoninos through Ioseph from Kaliphanou. The amount is 1 1/2 1/12 carats out of 4 3/4, for the 15th indiction; it dates probably from the later 6th century AD.
The carat (keration) was a fraction of the gold solidus (1/24) used as a unit of account. The final fraction 1/12 in line 3 is restored from the written-out amount in line 4.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
