Fragmentary end of a receipt in which someone acknowledges payment, in cash from hand to hand, of a sum of several hundred and twenty silver drachmas, apparently a purchase price. A scribe, son of Apynchis, signed for an illiterate party, and the document was registered at the record office of Philadelphia in the Fayum in AD 121.
The hundreds figure of the sum is lost. Kaisareios is the Roman-era name for the month Mesore; the date falls on its 3rd intercalary (epagomenal) day.
