Fragmentary list of payments in gold solidi, some reduced by a number of carats, recording sums received from various individuals, among them a deacon (?), Menas, and Elias the bread-seller. It dates to the 6th century AD and probably comes from the Arsinoite nome.

The phrase 'apo keratiōn' indicates a solidus short by a given number of carats (keratia), the small fraction of the gold coin. The figures are written both as numerals and in words.
