A short receipt from Oxyrhynchus, 4th century AD, recording that Panos son of Hermias paid the sums due for the first two months of a half-year in the eleventh indiction. The money was handed to Paulus, an assistant (hyperetes) of the katholikos, and the receipt is signed by Herakleios, a systates (local official).

In English machine translation

χμγ. Panos son of Hermias has paid, for two months, the first and second of the half-year of the eleventh indiction, the amounts given to Paulus the assistant of the katholikos. I, Herakleios, systates, have signed.

The opening χμγ is a Christian cryptogram, usually taken as a pious invocation. A systates was a minor municipal official in late Roman Egypt, and the katholikos was a senior financial official; the record's title calls the payment rent, but the text does not say so.

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