Commentary

L. 6 The use of Ι at end of symbols of drachmas is unique; Oliverio proposed that it could stand for - and be erroneously displaced after Δ; Dobias-Lalou, 2017 , p. 197, footnote 43 prefers another explanation: it should stand for a smaller unit than Δ, i.e. a chalkous (1/4 of obol, 1/100 of drachma).

Although very fragmentary, the minimum amount of expenses being 500 mines, the totals are here much higher than in IGCyr011400, IGCyr011500, IGCyr011600, IGCyr011700, IGCyr011800.
