A fragmentary Coptic document from Bawit in the Hermopolite region, dating to the 7th or 8th century AD. It seems to contain an acknowledgement of payment ('I received, I have been paid') involving gold solidi, and names Jeremias, Abraham and Apollo.

In English machine translation

[recto] [… lines lost …] […] […] Jeremias […] […] indeed […] I received, I have been paid [by you] […] behold these […] holokottinos (solidus) […] of Abraham […] Apollo […] [verso] […] […]

The holokottinos is the Byzantine gold solidus. Identification as a receipt rests only on the phrase 'I received, I have been paid'.
