An account of wheat and barley owed for the embolē, the grain levy, from the estate of Koussai for the 12th indiction. It lists individuals and various 'places' (probably monastic establishments) with the quantities of wheat and barley in artabas. It dates to the 7th or 8th century AD and probably comes from Bawit in the Hermopolite nome.
Topos ('place') in this period often denotes a monastic establishment or chapel. The embolē was the grain tax originally shipped to Alexandria or Constantinople.
