A Coptic account listing sums of gold solidi, and some shirts, exacted or paid in connection with fines and dealings involving Basile (probably the pagarch Basileios), a notary, a symmachos messenger and others. It totals 83 solidi and 50 pairs of shirts and comes from Aphrodito in the early 8th century AD.
Basile is likely Basileios, pagarch of Aphrodito; a symmachos was an official courier or attendant. Several Coptic phrases (e.g. ϭⲁⲩⲟⲛ, ⲥⲏⲕ ⲉϩⲏⲧ) are of uncertain meaning, so their renderings are tentative.
