A receipt of full payment from Arsinoe, dated 26 July 683, in which Aurelius Kosmas son of Ioannes acknowledges under oath having been paid in gold solidi by Victor, representative of the dux Joseph, apparently for something honey-coloured that had been sold in Pauni. It is signed by Kosmas and two witnesses and notarised by Aaron.

To the most magnificent Victor, representative of Joseph the most glorious dux, from the city of the Arsinoites, Aurelius Kosmas, of the elders of the paratoura (?), son of Ioannes, from the same city, living inside the lane of Saint Mark. I acknowledge, together and now, of my own free will, swearing by God Almighty, that I have received and accepted and been paid in full by your magnificence […] Pauni, sold […] honey-coloured […] that is, gold solidi […] for your security I have made this receipt of full payment for you […] and having been asked the formal question I have assented. † † I, Kosmas, of the elders, all is agreeable to me as stated above. † † […] son of the blessed Kosmas, I witness this receipt as stated above. † † Hor[…], I witness this receipt as stated above. † [Latin letters] drawn up (?) by me, Aaron, signed (?) … by me, Aaron, 99 … † [verso] † Receipt of full payment […] to Victor. †

The meaning of 'paratoura', describing Kosmas' group of elders, is uncertain. The notary's subscription is partly written in Latin script and is only partly legible.
