A receipt in which Aioulios son of Pekysios and a second man, a chief attendant, acknowledge receiving from the priest and abbot of the monastery of abba Isak the customary half solidus paid as the wage of the late Anoup, a former excubitor from Hiera, for the first indiction. It was written on Mesore 8 in the Arsinoite nome and drawn up by the notary Ioustos.

In English machine translation

An excubitor was originally a member of the imperial guard; here the title seems to describe a local official or guard whose customary wage the monastery continued to pay. The abbot's name is lost apart from its ending.
