A short account of money sums in myriads of denarii received by Ioannes, a receiver (hypodektes), from Isak and through Lykios the oil-seller. It dates to the 4th or 5th century AD; the provenance is unknown.
In English machine translation
Ioannes, receiver, has received from Isak: 170 (?) myriads of denarii
through Lykios, oil-seller: 50 myriads of denarii
for the total: 100 myriads of denarii
on the second (day): 62 myriads of denarii
The first sum is partly illegible; only the final digit (70) is read, and the abbreviation before it is unclear. A hypodektes was a receiver of payments, often of taxes.
