[verso]
What Zenodoros has received from Peisikles.
One record gives Philadelphia as the place, reflecting where the Zenon archive was found, while the text itself mentions a payment at Krokodilopolis. The copper sum of 54 drachmas 1 obol is converted to 50 silver drachmas, showing the agio between copper and silver.
