A short account of expenses from Oxyrhynchus, 5th century AD, listing meat, an obscure item, payments to donkey-drivers and a lawyer, and purchases of fruit and sausages, with sums in myriads of denarii.
In English machine translation
Account of expenditure, as follows:
20 litras of meat,
1 sumoballon (?),
to the donkey-drivers of Protodemos (?) 800 myriads,
to the lawyer 600 myriads,
for fruit 200 myriads,
for sausages (isikia) 300 myriads.
The word sumoballon is otherwise unattested and its meaning is unknown; 'myriads' refers to units of 10,000 denarii, reflecting late Roman inflation. The abbreviated protodemot(ou) may be a personal name or a title, so the donkey-drivers' line is uncertain.
