Tax receipt issued on behalf of the pagarchs by their assistant Matoi, acknowledging that Apollos son of Dioskoros paid 12 3/4 carats toward the public village taxes of the village of Phthla and of a monastery for the eighth indiction. It comes from Aphrodito in the Antaiopolite nome, probably AD 514-515.

In English machine translation

† Apollos son of Dioskoros has paid, on account of the public village taxes of the village of Phthla and of the monks of Saint […] […], of the eighth indiction, twelve and a half and a quarter carats, total 12 [1/2 1/4] carats. The most glorious pagarchs, through me, Matoi, assistant: the twelve and a half and a quarter carats are correct, as stated above.

The payer is Apollos, father of the poet and notary Dioskoros of Aphrodito. The carat (keration) was a fraction of the gold solidus, 1/24 of it.
