A short fourth-century account from Oxyrhynchus listing payments in gold solidi and in huge sums of inflated denarii from various individuals. Part of it is dated Hathyr 24 and records sums received from named people, including a courier.
Sums are counted in myriads (units of 10,000) of denarii, reflecting severe fourth-century inflation. A symmachos was a letter-carrier or messenger; 'prodoche' is of uncertain sense here, perhaps an advance or deposit.
