The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →

A short account of gold money for the 5th indiction, recording 28 solidi received and their expenditure, partly by written order and partly paid to a woman named Theodora. It dates to the 6th century AD and probably comes from Oxyrhynchus.

In English machine translation

Account of gold of the succession (?) of the 5th indiction, as follows: Receipt: 28 solidi, less 126 carats. Of which were spent accordingly: by written order (pittakion): 23 solidi, less 101 1/2 1/4 carats, and through the receipt (hypodoche) to Theodora: 4 1/2 1/8 solidi, less 11 carats. Total: 27 1/2 1/8 solidi, less 112 1/4 carats.

Sums are given in gold solidi minus a stated number of carats, a common Byzantine way of reckoning underweight coin; the 'succession' (diadoche) probably refers to a fiscal term or office period. The provenance is uncertain.
