A receipt issued by the gold-buyers Flavius Ammonios and Flavius Victor, through their deputy Ammonios, acknowledging that the village of Aphrodite paid 9 gold solidi through the receiver Kokkinos.

In English machine translation

☧ The people of the village of Aphrodite have paid, through Kokkinos the receiver, on account of the regular dues (kanonika) of the assessment of the eighth indiction, for the third instalment, by the measure of Mammas, scholastikos, 9 plain gold solidi. Total: 9 plain gold solidi only. And for your security and that of the treasury I have made [this] receipt as stated above. Flavii Ammonios and Victor, gold-buyers, through me, Ammonios, deputy of the gold-buyers. […]

The chrysonai (gold-buyers) were officials who collected or converted taxes into gold; the kanonika were the regular annual land-tax dues. The end of the document is lost.
