A short receipt in which Viktor acknowledges receiving, through the soldier Apa Menas, one solidus from the poll-tax of the first indiction, a sum also credited to the soldier as his pay by order. It dates to the 7th or 8th century AD and probably comes from the Hermopolite nome.
In English machine translation
† I have received through Apa Menas, soldier, from the poll-tax (andrismos) of the first indiction, 1 solidus in number, one, which was also credited to him for his wages, according to order.
† I, Viktor, agree. †
Andrismos is a poll-tax levied per adult male. The phrase 'in number' (arithmion) means the solidus was counted as a coin rather than weighed.
