A tax receipt recording that the heirs of Kyrikos, an assistant, paid 5 1/3 1/12 carats in Alexandrian standard for public taxes and the diagraphe of the sixth indiction, through the goldsmith Menas. It is dated Thoth 28 and signed by Theodoros, the official in charge, probably in the Hermopolite nome in the 7th century AD.
The diagraphe was a tax payment assessed by schedule. Carats (keratia) were fractions of the gold solidus, here reckoned on the Alexandrian standard. The epimeletes was the official responsible for collecting the payment.
