A receipt recording that the heirs of Didymos son of Phibammon, acting through his wife, delivered one approved military cloak as part of the tax quota (canon) for the seventh indiction. It is signed by Aurelius Apollonios, a logographos (clerk), and dated Mecheir 30, at Antinoopolis around AD 348.

In English machine translation

The heirs of Didymos son of Phibammon have given, through his wife, on account of the canon of the seventh, new, prosperous indiction, one cloak, total 1 cloak, approved. And if it is rejected, he (?) has called Apollonios to witness. Mecheir 30. I, Aurelius Apollonios, logographos, have signed.

The cloak (chlamys) was part of the vestis militaris, a levy of clothing for the army; the clause about rejection and witnessing Apollonios is grammatically awkward and its sense uncertain.
