† Epeiph 30, for the merismos of the ninth indiction, Apa Ioulios (?) son of Ioannes, of Papthis (?): 22 keratia, twenty-two only. †

Merismos was a tax assessed by apportionment among taxpayers; the keration was a small fraction (1/24) of the gold solidus. Paphthiou may be a patronymic or a place name.
