Receipt issued by Erythrios, an expelleutes (a collecting or enforcement official), to the steward Theotimos for 6 3/4 carats of gold paid as the customary fee on behalf of the sons of the comes Zacharias for the declaration of the 13th indiction. It was written on Epeiph 23 of indiction 13, probably 17 July 535, perhaps at Hermopolis.
