Two tax receipts written on one sheet recording payments in gold carats toward the public annona and canonica of the twelfth indiction, made through a man named Markos on behalf of his mother's third share. They are signed by the official Magistor and the collector Sarapion, from the Hermopolite nome, probably AD 608-609.

In English machine translation

† Paid in the name of Aminos son of Kyros, through his brother Markos, for the third share, on behalf of their mother, on account of the public annona and canonica of the twelfth indiction: three carats of gold, total 3 carats of gold, in dirty coin. 1/2 carat was given through Solomon from Tanameu. Magistor, assistant of the accounting office. I, Sarapion, collector, agree. † Paid in the name of Phoibammon son of Taurinos, from Areos, through his brother Markos, for the third share, on behalf of their mother, on account of the public annona and canonica of the twelfth indiction: one and a half carats of gold, total 1 1/2 carats of gold, in dirty coin. Flavius Magistor, diastoleus. I, Sarapion, collector, agree.

"Dirty" (rhypara) carats refers to a standard of reckoning for gold coin of lower, unrefined quality. A diastoleus was an official who assessed and apportioned tax payments.
