A short Byzantine letter to the illustrious Kollouthos, son of Athanasios, acknowledging his letter instructing the writer to pay 18 solidi to a certain Kyros. The writer refers to sums owed and a payment order (entagion) and reports handing the money to Kyros. From the Hermopolite nome.
An entagion is a written payment order or receipt document; the figures in lines 3-5 are partly damaged and their relation is uncertain. The genitive Athanasiou in the address may give Kollouthos' father or may be the sender.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Brief an Kollouthos). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
