A small fragment of an eighth-century document from the monastery of Bawit in the Hermopolite nome, written in Coptic with Greek formulas. It mentions something done "through our father" (probably the monastic superior), a half share, and sums of gold, including 60 1/2 solidi (?) in the tenth indiction.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] […] of the harbour (?). † Through our father. […] the 1/2 share of the […] of gold, in number […] of the tenth indiction, of gold, in number sixty and a half […] […] […]

The word hormos may mean a harbour or a landing place, but the context is lost. The gold sums are counted as coins (arithmia), most likely solidi.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Document). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
