Fragment of a receipt or account addressed to a 'most admirable' Flavius, concerning payment for the grain shipment (embole) of a 'most glorious house', i.e. a great estate. It mentions a figure of seventy-nine and gold solidi. It dates to the 6th-7th century AD.

[… lines lost …] […] (for) […] † To the most admirable Flavius […] (for) the embole (grain shipment) of the most glorious house […] seventy-nine […] of the side (?) and Alexandr[…] he has my solidi […]

The embole was the compulsory grain shipment to the capital. The 'most glorious house' is probably a great aristocratic estate. The phrase 'of the side' (plagiou) is obscure and its sense is uncertain.
