A short payment order from Martyrios to the wine-merchant Paulos, instructing him to pay 630 myriads of silver (denarii) to Apa Horas. It is dated Choiak 3 of a second indiction year, in the 5th or 6th century AD.

In English machine translation

To my brother Paulos, wine-merchant, Martyrios. Pay to Apa Horas … 630 myriads of silver, total 630 myriads of silver only. Choiak 3, 2nd indiction. Signed.

The other record titles this an order for payment of corn, but the text orders a payment in money. A myriad is a unit of 10,000 denarii, reflecting late Roman inflation.
