A bilingual Greek-Coptic agreement in which representatives of the people of Aphrodito, both those at home and those staying in Babylon (Old Cairo), acknowledge to the pagarch Basileios how a tax sum of 180 solidi was apportioned among the village, its hamlets and fields. They promise not to raise claims about the matter in future. It was written on 18 July 710 at Aphrodito.
Djkow is the Coptic name of Aphrodito; 'Babylon' is the fortress at Old Cairo where villagers were often sent on requisitioned labour. Several numerals are written as Coptic numbers and gaps make the exact breakdown of the sums uncertain.
