An account of money payments made by Pempo on behalf of the estate (dikaion) of Meskanounis, listing sums in gold solidi paid through three sets of intermediaries. It comes from Oxyrhynchus in the late 6th century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] […] Pempo on behalf of the dikaion of Meskanounis, as follows: through Apollos, by the public standard, 25 1/8 1/48 solidi; through Ioannes son of Aknaton and Paulos his brother, by the public standard, 14 solidi; through Phib the potter and Abaron and partners, by the public standard, 3 solidi. Total, by the public standard, 42 1/8 1/48 solidi.

"Dikaion" denotes a legal entity or estate holding; "public standard" (demosion) refers to the official weight standard for gold solidi. The listed items (25 1/8 1/48 + 14 + 3) match the total of 42 1/8 1/48.
