A receipt issued on behalf of the lady Viktorine through her servant Stephanos to the farmer Enoch, acknowledging payment of 39 gold carats toward the money tax quota of the thirteenth indiction. Besas, a priest, appears at the end, perhaps writing on Stephanos' behalf. It dates from about the mid-6th to mid-7th century AD.

In English machine translation

† From the lady Viktorine, through Stephanos the servant (?), to Enoch, farmer. I have received from you for the money tax quota of the thirteenth indiction 39 carats of gold, total 39 carats. Through me, Stephanos the servant: the receipt is satisfactory to me as stated above and (I am) co-assistant (?). Besas, priest. Written Mecheir 1, indiction 12

The payment for the 13th indiction was made in Mecheir of the 12th indiction, so in advance. Paidion (literally 'child') here denotes a servant or agent; the sense of symboēthētikon at the end is uncertain.
