In English machine translation
† I have received from you, Makarios, monk and coppersmith, for the poll-tax (andrismos) of the twelfth indiction, one half gold solidus, total 1/2 solidus by count. Choiak 9, indiction 12. I, Pinoution, wrote. †
† Prasios (?) and Biktor agree. †
Andrismos was the per-capita tax levied in early Islamic Egypt; even monks were liable. 'By count' (arithmiou) means coins counted by number rather than weighed.
