An account of gold coin packed in eight purses, giving the number of counted solidi in each, including purses of half- and third-solidi, with a total, its conversion to a reduced standard value, and a deduction of one solidus paid to the notary. It comes from the Apollonopolite nome in Upper Egypt.
An apokombion is a sealed purse of coins; 'counted' (arithmia) solidi are coins reckoned by number rather than by weight, which explains the conversion of 691 counted solidi to 653 solidi 10 carats. The figure for 249 third-solidi (83) is given in the text as 82, apparently after an adjustment or a scribal slip.
