Acknowledgement of payment of 2 solidi with witness subscription TM 39821Aphrodites Kome (Antaiopolites)VIII

Fragment of a Coptic document, apparently a receipt or acknowledgement of payment of 2 solidi made once only, involving the son of the late Isaak, an abbot, a priest and a monastic superior, with a priest signing as witness. The verso has a short list (son, wife, mother) with a sum. From Aphrodito, 8th century AD.

In English machine translation

The verso heading 'gnosis' means a list or register; the final figure may be read as 1 1/3 solidus, but the reading is uncertain. 'Once only' is a standard formula guaranteeing that the payment is not to be demanded again.
