† The holy church of God of Hermopolis, through me, Kollouthos, steward (pronoetes) of the district (meris) of Hermopolis, to Enoch, orchard-keeper. You have paid for the rent in produce of the twelfth indiction 22 1/2 1/4 carats of gold, total 22 1/2 1/4 carats, apart from the paramythia.
† Written Epeiph 20, indiction [12]. I, Kollouthos, steward, agree.
Paramythia was a supplementary charge or allowance added to payments; the receipt excludes it from the sum acknowledged. The pronoetes was an estate steward managing a district of the church's property.
