A short receipt recording payment of one solidus, made through the soldier Menas son of Sarapammon, toward the tax assessment (canon) of the sixth indiction. It is dated Hathyr 18 of the seventh indiction and probably comes from the Hermopolite nome in the 7th-8th century AD.
In English machine translation
† Hathyr 18, 7th indiction. I have received through Menas son of Sarapammon, soldier, from the assessment of the canon of the 6th indiction, in counted coin, 1 solidus, one only.
… through Victor, it is correct. †
The kanon was the regular annual tax assessment, and the catalogue classifies this payment as poll tax. "Counted coin" (arithmion) means a solidus reckoned by count rather than by weight.
