To the royal banker of Lycopolis, greetings.

Notes on Translation

The text is fragmentary and contains abbreviations and numerical notations. "τάλαντα" (talents) and "δραχμαὶ" (drachmas) are ancient monetary units. "χαλκοῦ" indicates bronze currency. The phrase "εἰς τὸ καθῆγον ὀψώνιον" means "for the due salary/payment." The notation "(ἔτους) με" likely refers to a specific year, possibly the 45th year ("με" = 45 in Greek numerals).
