A short letter or note from Theodoros to Anoutios acknowledging receipt of 150 myriads (of denarii) credited to his account. He mentions a further 60 myriads and asks Anoutios to draw up the full account and send it via his son. It dates to the 5th century AD.
"Myriads" are units of 10,000, here presumably of denarii, reflecting the heavy inflation of late Roman currency. The line "the same, 60 myriads" is elliptical and its exact sense is uncertain.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Letter of Theodorus). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
