A short order for payment in which Markellinos instructs Nilamon to pay a workman 85 myriads of denarii. It probably dates to the 5th century AD.
In English machine translation
To my lord brother Nilamon,
Markellinos, greetings.
Give to the workman 85 myriads.
Total, 85 myriads.
A myriad is a unit of 10,000 denarii, used in the inflated currency of late antiquity. The sum is written out and then repeated as a total, as was usual in such orders.
