A short private account of receipts and expenditures, recording sums of money in myriads of denarii received on various days of the month and spent on wheat, a cook, wood and other items. It probably dates to the 6th century AD.

In English machine translation

643 You have from me 14 carats, 2,300 myriads (of denarii). I have in hand 200 myriads, two hundred myriads. 17th, likewise 200 myriads, two hundred. 16th, likewise 200 myriads, two hundred. 18th, likewise 100 myriads, one hundred. 21st, likewise 200 myriads, two hundred. In hand in all 1,000 myriads, one thousand. From […] 180 myriads, one hundred eighty. In hand 30 myriads, thirty. For wheat 30 myriads, thirty. For the cook 85 myriads, eighty-five. […] 150 myriads, one hundred fifty. […] 50 myriads, fifty. For wood 22 myriads, twenty-two. From […] 112 myriads, one hundred twelve.

The opening χμγ (643) is probably a Christian isopsephic symbol or a number rather than part of the account. Sums are given in myriads (units of 10,000) of denarii, with keratia (carats) of gold as the reference value; some item words (e.g. συνδοκον) are unclear.
