Fragment of a receipt addressed to a soldier, in which someone, son of Claudius, acknowledges receiving from Apollonios a sum counted in myriads of drachmas. It comes from the Bahariya Oasis (Small Oasis) and dates to the first half of the 4th century AD.
In English machine translation
[…] to […], soldier,
[…] son of Claudius, greetings.
[…] from you, Apollonios, […] myriads
[…] drachmas
Sums in myriads (units of 10,000) of drachmas reflect the high inflation of 4th-century Egypt. The relation of the soldier to Apollonios is unclear because the address is damaged.
