A receipt recording that a small fraction of a gold solidus was paid through Ioannes son of Georgios and given to Abraamios son of Georgios on Tybi 15 of an 11th indiction, signed by Zacharias. Two further entries, headed by Ioannes and Victor, are almost entirely lost.
The amount is given in Byzantine fractional notation (1/6 + 1/24 + 1/48 of a solidus, about 11/48). The word 'arithmion' indicates coin counted by number rather than by weight.
