Notes

• No Latin text is present in the supplied document.
• The amount-sign Α is retained as written; if it is the Greek numeral alpha, it denotes one.
• διαγράφω can refer to paying or crediting an amount. The wording of the recto is somewhat compressed, so “what Apollonios ordered you to pay or credit to me” is a contextual translation.
