Of oil, 1 xestes, one; of pulses, 1 metron, one.

The first line is in Coptic and its rendering is uncertain; it appears to name the payee, Pbaroh, with further descriptive words. The Greek body follows the standard formula of Bawit monastic payment orders, though such orders are often classed with receipts and accounts rather than official documents.
