A receipt issued by the church of Hermopolis, through its estate manager Kollouthos, to the farmer Eusebios for 23 carats of gold paid as rent on crops of the twelfth indiction. It was written on Mesore 3 of the same indiction, in the 7th century AD at Hermopolis.

In English machine translation

† The holy church of God of Hermopolis, through me, Kollouthos, pronoetes of the district of the Hermopolite nome, † to Eusebios, farmer. You have paid for the rents of the crops of the twelfth indiction 23 carats of gold, total 23 carats, by the Alexandrian standard, apart from the paramythia. † Written Mesore 3, indiction 12. † I, Kollouthos, pronoetes, agree.

A pronoetes was a manager of an estate's district; paramythia was a customary extra charge or allowance, here explicitly excluded from the sum. The carat (keration) was 1/24 of a gold solidus, reckoned here by the Alexandrian standard.
