Declaration by village officials on fair tax assessment. Fragmentary Coptic declaration in which Andreas and others, probably village officials, guarantee that they assessed a tax payment of 2 1/2 gold solidi fairly according to each person's means, without enmity or favouritism and omitting no one, accepting a penalty fixed by the governor if found false. It comes from Aphrodito in the early 8th century AD. machine translation
