A receipt issued by the heirs of the late Kyros, a grammatikos, represented by Christodoros son of Bishop Kephalon, to Apollos, village headman of Aphrodite, acknowledging full payment of rent for land at Piase in the plain of Phthla for the second indiction. It belongs to the Dioskoros archive from Aphrodite in the Antaiopolite nome.
Apollos, the tenant, is the father of Dioskoros of Aphrodite; protokometes means a leading village official. The date rests only on the indiction year, so the exact year is uncertain.
