Fragment of a letter signed by Flavius Isidoros, singularis, from Tanyaithis TM 36824Tanyaithis? (Apollonopolites Heptakomias)VI

Fragment of a letter or note in which the writer, staying in the village of Tanyaithis, mentions a sum of four solidi less 56 carats and refers to a time when he will reach the city. It is signed by Flavius Isidoros, a singularis (an official's attendant), and addressed on the back to a high-ranking 'brother'.

In English machine translation

A singularis was a staff officer or attendant in the service of a Late Roman official. The 'carats' are fractions of the gold solidus (24 to the solidus), so the sum is well under four full coins as weighed by a standard balance.
