In English machine translation
† With God. Memorandum:
of good oil, 1 solidus;
of incense, of black skorpites,
of pyktike, of scammony, 1;
of salted sea-urchin, 1/3 solidus (?)
Several items (skorpites, pyktike) are obscure substances, possibly drugs or aromatics; scammony is a purgative plant resin. The final figure may mean 3 solidi or a third of a solidus.
