An account of gold sums for a ninth indiction, listing payments in solidi and carats made through various individuals and institutions, including a pronoetes, notaries, a physician, a deacon, a hostel, churches and monasteries. It probably comes from Oxyrhynchus in the 6th or 7th century AD.

In English machine translation

† Statement of gold, with God, of the 9th indiction, as follows: through ⟦Philoxenos son of Matrinos, through⟧ Serenos the pronoetes, 1 solidus 5 1/4 carats through ⟦the monastery of Abba⟧ Maikr (?), [...] 1 [...] carats […] through ⟦the heirs of Hierakion⟧ [...] 19 1/2 carats through ⟦the reverend Paulos, brother⟧ 8 1/2 carats through the heirs through ⟦Kyros the notary⟧ [...] 12 carats through Georgios Saniakathios 26 1/2 1/4 carats through Menas the notary, for the lady Nonna, 2 1/2 carats through Kalios the physician […] carats through Victor the deacon, son of Helladios, 1 solidus 12 carats through the hostel of Aollos (?) 6 1/4 carats through Samuel on behalf of his wife 21 carats through ⟦Ama Tarau⟧ 1 solidus on the private standard ⟦and for freight charges of the embole, myriads⟧ 450 through the holy church of the Martyrs 3 carats through the monastery of Abba Philoxenos 25 1/2 1/4 carats ⟦through Apa Isak son of Makarios⟧ 1/3 solidus on the private standard through ⟦the holy church by the river⟧ 2 solidi 17 carats

Many entries were struck through by the scribe, probably marking them as settled; the recurring abbreviation 'δηλ' is of uncertain meaning and left untranslated. The embole was the state grain shipment to Alexandria and Constantinople, and the 'private standard' refers to a local weight for gold coin.
