A sworn declaration (katagraphē) listing public taxes paid in gold solidi and grain, including gold taxes, a commuted grain levy for the embolē and the diagraphon tax. Two men, one the son of Viktor and Senouthes from Hermopolis, swear by God Almighty that they have omitted nothing, and Kollouthos signs for them because they were illiterate. It dates from the early Arab period at Hermopolis.
