Fragmentary Coptic account listing sums in solidi, including payments involving the lord Zacharias son of the pagarch, goat skins and a charitable gift (agape). It comes from the monastery of Bawit in the Hermopolite nome and dates to the 8th century AD.

The catalogue describes it as an account, possibly of expenses. Agape here probably means a charitable donation; the readings 'son of the pagarch' and 'goat skins' are uncertain interpretations of the Coptic.
