A short account of money handled by an optio and a man named Kalikios, listing payments in gold solidi to brickmakers, potters, the notary Menas for wine, for baskets, and to a courier named Papnouthios. It dates to the 7th century AD and comes from the Arsinoite nome.
The items listed add up to 12 solidi, matching the total, though the opening line gives 10, perhaps the sum received. A symmachos was a messenger or courier in Byzantine and early Arab Egypt; koufokeramourgoi made light pottery jars.
