A short account, apparently of a painter, listing quantities of materials, including blue pigment and a 'Cyprian' substance, measured in pounds (litrai). It opens with the Christian invocation formula and probably dates to the 6th or 7th century AD.

Account […] of […]renos (?), painter

of Cyprian (?), 3 litrai
The opening letters χμγ are the Christian monogram formula often read as an abbreviation or isopsephism (643), usually accompanying 'Christ'. 'Cyprian' probably refers to a pigment or material from Cyprus, such as copper-based green or blue.
