An ostracon with an order for payment from the exactores (tax-collecting officials) to Parekysis, a tailor, instructing him to pay 3,000 talents to Psenthatres in respect of a quantity of artabas. It dates to the 4th century AD.
In English machine translation
From the exactores,
to Parekysis, tailor, greetings.
Give to Psenthatres for
[…] artabas […] 3,000 talents.
…
The exactor was a late Roman official responsible for collecting taxes. The sum of 3,000 talents reflects the steep inflation of the 4th century, and payment is probably for grain counted in artabas.
