In English machine translation

[… 10 lines lost …] Account of receipts: 22 1/2 1/4 carats … Expenditure: for the price of salt, for the price of small cups, for the price of a couch (?) for the price of a small knife for the price of small baskets for the miliarision

The carat (keration) and miliarision were Byzantine units of account and coinage; the amounts for the individual expenses are not preserved. The meaning of 'koubiton' (couch or bedroom item) is uncertain.
