A Coptic receipt with Greek formulas in which Adrianos, scribe of Kolthe the symmachos (a courier or armed attendant), acknowledges receiving 4 gold solidi to be credited to the recipient's account for the second indiction year, plus a further solidus. It dates to the 7th century AD, probably from the Hermopolite nome.
A symmachos was a low-ranking official messenger or armed guard in late antique Egypt. The phrase rendered 'for Lamjatp' and 'for food' are uncertain readings of Coptic words.
