A short receipt from Flavius Ioannes to Aurelius Victor acknowledging something received for the embole, the state grain shipment, for a given indiction year, with an offer to hand the items over if needed. It dates to the 6th century AD.

In English machine translation

[recto] † To Aurelius Victor, Flavius Ioannes […]. I have received (?) for the embole (grain tax shipment) […] of the […] indiction, and I am ready, if there is need, to hand them over. Written Choiak, […] indiction. Ioannes: it is agreed by me. [verso] † To Aurelius Victor

The embole was the compulsory grain levy shipped from Egypt, chiefly to Constantinople in this period. The verb after 'I have' is damaged, so 'received' is a likely but uncertain reading.
