Fragment of a tax assessment register (merismos) for the hamlet of Keramiou belonging to the village of Aphrodito, drawn up on Pachon 11 at the start of the 5th indiction through an appointed official, Hermaos son of Kollos. Only the heading and a few lines of totals in gold solidi and carats survive. It dates to the 8th century AD, under Arab rule.
A merismos is the apportionment of tax among taxpayers; 'arithmia' solidi are coins counted by number rather than by weight. The figure after 9 carats is uncertain and may be a fraction.
