A sworn declaration by Agapetos, a deacon of Hermopolis, listing the public taxes he paid in gold coin, wheat and barley, including a payment to the church of Hermopolis.

The 'canon' (kanon) was the regular fixed tax assessment; amounts are in solidi and carats (1/24 of a solidus). The oath by the safety of the Emirs reflects the Arab administration of Egypt.
