† Epeiph 25, indiction 10. I have received through Ioustos Palmatat, from the public taxes of the 9th indiction, in counted money, 1/2 solidus only, for the reception (?) of cushions and tunics [...], expended through Abba Menas, soldier.
The word after the abbreviations for cushions (tylaria) and tunics (sticharia) is not understood and is left untranslated. 'Counted money' renders arithmion nomisma, coin reckoned by number rather than by weight.
