A tax receipt acknowledging payment, made through the notary Abba Ioustos, of 11 1/4 carats for public taxes and poll-tax of the fourth indiction. It was written on Epeiph 26 of the seventh indiction and signed by Taurinos and Severos, probably in the Hermopolite nome in the 7th century AD.

† I have received through my brother Abba Ioustos, notary, for public taxes and poll-tax (diagraphe) of the fourth indiction, eleven and a quarter carats, without the quarter (?), total 11 1/4 carats. Written Epeiph 26, of the 7th indiction. † We, Taurinos and Severos, agree. †
The tax year (4th indiction) differs from the year of writing (7th indiction), so this is a late payment. The phrase 'without the quarter' (chōris d) is obscure and may refer to a deduction or exchange charge.
