A carpenter named Gerontios records or undertakes woodwork to be made for an official called the ekdikos (defensor): two screens with railings and door-frames, further items for a large room, and fourteen of some other item. The text breaks off; it dates to the 5th or 6th century AD.

The ekdikos (Latin defensor civitatis) was a late Roman municipal official charged with protecting citizens. The opening 'it was resolved by me' is an unusual formula, perhaps marking an agreement or work estimate.
