A tax receipt recording that Nona, daughter of Olympiodoros, paid four carats of gold through Basileides toward the public taxes of a first indiction year. It is confirmed by the official Phoibammon through the collector Victor, in the Hermopolite nome in the 7th century AD.
In English machine translation
χμγ
† There has been paid in the name of Nona daughter of Olympiodoros, through Basileides, on behalf of the free (woman?), on account of public taxes of the first indiction, four carats of gold, total 4 carats of gold only. Phoibammon, diastoleus, through me Victor, collector, agrees.
The opening letters χμγ are a common Christian invocation symbol of disputed meaning. A diastoleus was a tax official responsible for allocating and checking payments; the phrase 'on behalf of the free (woman)' is unclear in sense.
