A fragmentary receipt from the Herakleopolite nome, 5th century AD, recording that Ioannes paid 1,000 myriads of denarii in bronze in commutation of a liturgy (compulsory public service) for an indiction year. It was issued by Aphous, a superintendent, through his agent Anoubion; the back preserves only scraps mentioning gold.
In English machine translation
[recto]
Ioannes […] paid [for the liturgy] […] of the […] indiction, one thousand myriads; [total 1,000 myriads of denarii in bronze] […]
Aphous, superintendent (epimeletes), through me, Anoubion […]
[verso]
[… 2 lines lost …]
[…] on the grounds (?) of a report of gold […]
[…] following (?) […]
The payment is a cash commutation (adaeratio) of a compulsory service; much of the sum and the reference to the liturgy are restored. The verso text is too damaged for a secure reading.
