A Coptic tax demand from the monastery of Apa Apollo at Bawit, ordering a monk or tenant to pay his assessment of half a solidus in the first installment of the tax payment. It is dated Pharmouthi 22 of an indiction year 15, in the 8th century AD.
The Greek term katabole refers to an installment of tax payment; the half-solidus figure in the total is restored. The sender's name is damaged and uncertain.
