A Coptic receipt in which a man named Iohannes acknowledges to Apa Psan the payment of one gold solidus (holokottinos) toward his poll tax (diagraphon). It is dated to 19 Epeiph in the fourth year of the pagarch Iohannes, and belongs to the 7th-8th century AD.
In English machine translation
† Iohannes writes to Apa Psan: Look, 1 holokottinos has come into my hand for your diagraphon, on the 19th of Epeiph, in the 4th year (indiction?) of Iohannes the pagarch.
Iohannes, I agree.
The diagraphon is the poll tax levied on non-Muslims under early Islamic rule in Egypt. The year is reckoned by the pagarch's term of office rather than by a regnal or indiction year.
