A short expense account of a man named Kollouthos, recording payments in gold solidi to "foreigners" for food and wages, to cooks, and to a clothes-seller. It comes from the Hermopolite nome and dates to the late 5th or early 6th century AD.
In English machine translation
Account of Kollouthos:
To the foreigners, for food, 2 solidi less 8 (carats)
To the cooks, 8 solidi less 24 (carats)
To the foreigners, for wages, 6 solidi less 24 (carats)
To the clothes-seller, 9 solidi less 27 (carats)
The "foreigners" (allophyloi) are probably barbarian soldiers or federates. Amounts are given as solidi "less" a number of carats, the standard way of expressing reduced-weight gold sums; the larger deductions may instead be of a different unit.
