An account of money payments from a 6th-century Egyptian estate, recording sums in solidi and carats paid through the collector Ioannes to various persons, including a payment for the dues of a high-ranking stratelates, the village head apa Hor, fodder for a cavalryman's horses, and papyrus. The end of the document is lost.

One museum record describes this as an account of wine, but the surviving text lists money payments. 'Apodosimon' is a payment due or remittance, and 'pectoralia' were probably a kind of garment or breast-piece; the 'less 18' presumably means carats deducted from the solidus sum.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as List of Payments in Money). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
