An order from two village headmen (protokometai) of Aphrodito instructing Ioannes, the tax receiver, to pay out 6 gold solidi less 15 1/4 carats from the first-indiction tax receipts for expenses incurred at Antinoopolis. It is dated Thoth 18.
The kanon was the fixed annual tax quota; the deduction in carats is reckoned by the goldsmiths' (chrysochoikon) standard. The protokometai were the leading village headmen.
