† To Ioannes the baker, the amount also given to him on account of the people from Phthochis, 2 solidi less 9 1/2 (carats), for the price of ten young shoots (?), 1 solidus less 5 (carats), to the camel-driver in the month of Pauni of the 12th indiction, 1 solidus, to Leui the perfume-seller for the price of 33 sextarii of Spanish oil, 1 solidus less 5 (carats), to Pamouthios the pork-butcher for the eisapoxeia (?), 2 solidi, likewise to the herdsman who trod out the grain of the tenth (indiction), 1 solidus, to Sergios the horse-keeper for the price of kollathon-loaves (?) given to the …, 1 solidus less 6 (carats), to Makarios the messenger (symmachos) for his wages of the 12th indiction, the amount also given for …, 1 solidus, likewise to Ioannes the baker on account of the people from Phthochis, instead of hay-seed for the water-wheel of Tape…e, 1 solidus ⟦less 4 1/2 (carats)⟧

Amounts are in gold solidi, often stated as a solidus 'less' a number of carats (1/24 solidus). A symmachos was a letter-carrier or messenger in the service of a large estate; some terms such as eisapoxeia are of uncertain meaning.
