Fragment of a letter in which the writer asks to know about payments for the first four-month period, mentioning sums in solidi and the addressees' share. The address on the back names Apollos, a village headman (protokometes), at Aphrodito in the first half of the 6th century AD.

The protokometes was a leading village official; Apollos was the father of Dioskoros of Aphrodito. The 'four-month period' probably refers to a tax instalment.
