Fragments of an 8th-century account from Aphrodito in the Antaiopolite nome, recording sums in gold solidi, apparently connected with payments for sailors and craftsmen sent to Africa. Only scattered entries and totals survive.
Under early Arab rule Aphrodito supplied sailors and craftsmen for the Muslim fleet, and "Africa" here likely refers to the province of Ifriqiya. The isolated words on the last fragment are unexplained and may be partial names.
