A receipt issued by Aurelius Pallos, assistant in charge of a public dyke at the village of Temseu Skordon, to the village headmen and village 'knowers' (gnosteres). He confirms full payment of the customary contributions for wages and for the earthwork raising of the public dyke. It probably dates to the 5th century AD, in the Hermopolite nome.

In English machine translation

Aurelius Pallos, assistant (boethos) of the dyke of Temseu Skordon, to the komarchai and the gnosteres of the village. I have received and been paid in full by you the customary payments for wages and for the raising of the public dyke of the ninth indiction, the rise (of the Nile) of the tenth indiction, and for your security and that of the public account I have made out for you this receipt of full payment with my signature, as stated above. I, Aurelius Pallos, assistant: the receipt is in order and as stated above.

The addressees appear in the nominative and dative inconsistently in the Greek. Gnosteres were village officials who vouched for persons and assessments; anabole refers to the earthwork raising of dykes.
