Fragments of a tax account from the village of Aphrodito in the Antaiopolite nome, dating to the 8th century AD. It concerns the gold public taxes for a first indiction year and records about 24 solidi borrowed and spent beyond the apportioned expenditure, with mentions of extraordinary levies.
The solidus (nomisma) was the standard gold coin; 'extraordinaria' were supplementary levies beyond the regular tax. The fraction 24 1/2 1/3 1/12 equals 24 11/12 solidi.
