Military Pay Record (?) (ChLA III 212, TM 69874)
- Scope & Content:
-
This badly preserved document seems to be a military pay record, as suggested by the abbreviation for drachma (see col. I 2, 4, 6; col. II 2, 7). The salaries are arranged under the personal names of soldiers. However, no figure can be detected.
