A receipt issued by Theon, servant of a church of the Holy Mother of God (Theotokos), acknowledging that Papnouthios from the village of Psineuris paid 12 keratia as one year's rent for a place owned by the church. It dates from the 4th to 8th century AD.

In English machine translation

† Papnouthios from Psineuris has paid, for the rent of a place belonging to the holy Theotokos, from Phamenoth 1 of the 3rd indiction to Phamenoth of the 4th indiction, twelve simple keratia, total 12 keratia, net. † Through me, Theon, servant of the holy Theotokos †

The keration (carat) was a fraction of the gold solidus, 1/24 of it. "Servant of the holy Theotokos" probably designates a church employee or administrator of a church dedicated to Mary.
