Fragment of a Coptic loan acknowledgment in which Pesoou, a monk of the monastery of Apa Apollo, declares to a fellow monk of the same monastery that he owes him a gold solidus. It dates to the 7th century AD and comes from Bawit.
In English machine translation
[…] Pesoou, the monk of the monastery (topos) of Apa Apollo, I write to my brother […]
[…] of this same monastery: I owe 1 (?) solidus (holokottinos) besides […]
[…] [by] the will of God […]
[…]

The holokottinos is the gold solidus coin; the amount owed and the remaining terms of the loan are lost. "Brother" here likely means a fellow monk rather than a blood relative.
