A Greek list of small payments of 1/12 or 1/3 solidus by named individuals, among them a dyer and a notary, with a fragmentary Coptic document on the back in which Ioannes son of Mathias acknowledges matters concerning a solidus and tremissis for a xenion (customary gift) and renounces claims. From Aphrodito, 8th century AD.
