[Meaning] advance-payment.[1]

Notes:
For this headword see also tau 288, tau 289, tau 290, and cf. tau 291, tau 292.
[1] Oddly, not a suitable gloss for the headword, but, as indicated, a (broadly) related abstract noun: see pi 2865, pi 2866, pi 2867. (Adler notes that it is lacking in mss GM, and suggests that it has strayed in from the end of tau 281.)
[2] Iamblichus, Babyloniaca fr. 93 Habrich.
