The people of the village of Aphrodite of the Antaiopolite nome have paid, through Ioannes the receiver (hypodektes), on account of the canonical and gold taxes of the first instalment of the assessment of the first indiction, 100 solidi of gold, full weight, simple. Total: 100 gold solidi, full weight, simple. And for your security and that of the public account I have made this receipt (entagion) with my signature, as stated above. Heliodoros, provincial gold-tax collector (ethnikos chrysones) of the eparchy of the Thebaid. I agree to the receipt for the 100 solidi, simple, full weight, as stated above.

The 'canonical and gold titles' refer to the regular annual tax assessment (kanon) and associated gold levies; 'simple' solidi (hapla) are coins counted without surcharge. One record dates the text to about AD 535 instead.
