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 receipt addressed to Ioannes, an actuarius (military paymaster), acknowledging payment of one gold solidus less five carats as the money commutation of the first grain requisition of the twelfth indiction. It comes from the Hermopolite nome, probably AD 503-504.

In English machine translation

☧ To my lord brother Ioannes, actuarius: you have provided me, for the first order of grain in commutation (into money) of the twelfth indiction, one solidus of gold less five carats, total 1 gold solidus less 5 carats, […] I agree to one solidus less five carats.

Adaeratio (exargyrismos) is the conversion of a payment in kind, here grain, into a money payment. The issuer's name is lost in the gap.
