Fragments of an account of payments to officials TM 36713Aphrodites Kome (Antaiopolites)ca. 548 (?)

Two fragments of an account of payments, possibly connected with taxes, from Aphrodito around AD 548. It records sums paid in small change to officials such as singularii, a numerarius, a guard and a riparius, and payments sent to Antinoou or made for honey and wine.

In English machine translation

Singularii, the numerarius and the riparius were late Roman administrative and police officials with no exact English equivalent. Parastathmia appears to refer to a surcharge connected with the weighing or exchange of the gold solidus.
