A tax receipt recording that Apollos son of Dioskoros paid, through Phoibammon, 3 1/6 carats toward the public village taxes of the village of Phthla for the third installment of the sixth indiction. The receipt was issued on behalf of the pagarchs by their assistant Viktor; a second, damaged entry records 5 1/2 carats for public taxes. It comes from Aphrodito in the Antaiopolite nome, probably AD 557-558.
Apollos son of Dioskoros is likely the father of the well-known poet and notary Dioskoros of Aphrodito. The carat (keration) was a fraction of the gold solidus, 1/24 of it.
