A receipt recording that Apa Hor paid 15 carats as rent owed to the Great Church for a six-month period running from Pharmouthi of the 14th indiction to Thoth of the 15th. It was issued by the priest Theodoros in the Arsinoite nome in the 7th or 8th century AD.

In English machine translation

† Apa Hor has paid, from the rents of the Great Church, for the period from Pharmouthi 1 of the fourteenth indiction to Thoth 30 of the 15th indiction, (for the) first half-year, 15 light (?) carats. Total 15 carats only. Phaophi 20 of the same 15th indiction. Through me, Theodoros, priest †

The abbreviation lit(a) qualifying the carats is usually understood as 'light' or 'plain' carats, a money-of-account term with no exact English equivalent. The 'Great Church' was the principal church institution of the locality, which owned rented property.
