An ostracon recording four successive payments of money, two of them made in the courtyard of a man named Leonides and one in the city, with a further sum from Tanouphis. It dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD and probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum.
In English machine translation
1st payment: 3,500 (drachmas)
2nd payment, in the courtyard of Leonides: 1 talent 3,100 drachmas
3rd payment, in the city: 3 talents 3,100 drachmas
4th payment, in the courtyard of Leonides: 1 talent, and from Tanouphis 3,500 drachmas.
A talent was 6,000 drachmas; the large sums reflect the inflation of the period. "The city" is probably the nome capital, Arsinoe.
