A fragment of a list of taxpayers from Byzantine Egypt, recording payments made by named individuals (or their children or wives) and the persons through whom the amounts were handed over. It dates to the 6th or 7th century AD.
Each line pairs a payer with the person "through whom" the sums (literally "the things") were delivered, probably a collector or intermediary. Apa is an honorific title for a monk or cleric.
