A receipt recording that Anoubion, brother of Phoibammon, paid 1,000 myriads of bronze denarii toward a liturgy for the sixth indiction. It was issued by the overseer Aphous through his agent Isak, in the Herakleopolite nome in the 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

† Anoubion, brother of Phoibammon, has paid for the liturgy (?) of the sixth indiction 1,000 myriads; total 1,000 myriads of denarii in bronze. Tybi 26, 6th indiction. Aphous, overseer (epimeletes), through me, Isak. I have signed.

The word 'liturgy' is largely restored; the payment appears to be a cash commutation (adaeratio) of a compulsory public service. A myriad is 10,000, so the sum is 10 million denarii, reflecting late Roman inflation.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Quittung für Liturgieadäration). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
