A tax receipt recording that Theodoros, a carpenter, paid 6 3/4 carats as his share of a levy assessed on the quarter of Saint Theodoros for the fourth indiction, by order of Abdella, the Arab amir of Alexandria. It was issued on Choiak 18 by the deacon Phoibammon, in the Arsinoite nome in the early Islamic period.
The "amir" named here is an Arab official, placing the text after the Arab conquest of Egypt (7th-8th century AD). "Laura" here means a street or quarter of a town, not a monastery.
