Fragmentary tax account listing sums in gold solidi by indiction years, including payments for the price of supplies ("species") for ships and amounts from monasteries. It belongs to the 8th-century Arab-period administrative papers from Aphrodito.

In English machine translation

[Fragment B, verso] For (?) indiction 1 […] For (?) indiction 2 […] For (?) indiction 3, with 97 1/2 1/3 solidi for the price of supplies for the ships […] For (?) indiction 4, with 37 solidi, of the monasteries […] … solidi, counted … solidi, counted

The abbreviation πρ(ο) before each indiction is uncertain in meaning (perhaps 'for' or 'previous'); karaboi were boats of the Arab fleet, whose supplies Aphrodito helped pay for. 'Counted' renders arithmia, coins reckoned by number rather than by weight.
