A series of three tax receipts recording payments by Aurelius Apammon of small amounts of gold and uncoined silver on Pauni 30, Epeiph 28 and Mesore 24, each signed by the receiving official (Aurelius Kopreus twice, then Eulogios). It comes from the Oxyrhynchite nome in the early 4th century AD.

In English machine translation

Pauni 30, Aurelius Apammon, 1 gram of gold, total 1 gram of gold, 10 grams of uncoined silver only. I, Aurelius Kopreus, have signed. Epeiph 28, likewise 1/2 gram of gold, 5 grams of uncoined silver, total 1/2 gram of gold, 5 grams of uncoined silver. I, Aurelius Kopreus, have signed. Mesore 24, the same man likewise 1/2 gram of gold, 5 grams of uncoined silver, total 1/2 gram of gold, 5 grams of uncoined silver. I, Eulogios, have signed.

The gram (gramma) was a small weight unit, 1/24 of an ounce; 'uncoined silver' (asemon) refers to silver paid by weight rather than in coins, typical of early 4th-century levies in precious metal.
