Fragments of a tax register from Aphrodito listing amounts in gold solidi owed for public taxes on the shares of various localities, together with poll tax counted by number of persons, with totals and grain dues. It was to be paid into the treasury office (tablarion) and dates to the 8th century AD, in the early Arab period.
