Fragment of a Coptic list or account, probably of payments, from the monastery of Bawit, 8th century AD. It mentions groups of people such as watchmen, a pistikos (agent), several named individuals (Kelkas, Piot son of Phoi, Makare) and a church, ending with a total.

Many readings are uncertain; the numbers after each entry are likely amounts paid. Pistikos was a steward or agent handling estate business.
