Fragment of a Coptic agreement or guarantee concerning payments in gold solidi owed according to a tax register, including sums for the village's contract, the village's men, and eastern and western fields. The undertaker promises to pay and swears an oath. From Aphrodito, early 8th century AD.

But if I fall short of [...] I have drawn up this agreement, swearing [...] [...] to the one who holds it, that we guard our watch (?) [...] [... lines lost ...]

Several numerals are restored or uncertain, so the individual sums and the total cannot be reconciled with confidence. Pakton is a fiscal contract or agreed assessment, and trimesion is a third of a solidus deducted per half.
