A tax receipt acknowledging payment, made through Kometas, of one third of a solidus toward the public taxes of the 2nd indiction, the sum being handed to the soldier Apa Menas. It is signed by Senouthios and dates to the late 7th or 8th century AD, from the Hermopolite nome.

In English machine translation

† Month of Thoth 28, 7th indiction. I have received through Kometas, camel-driver (?), from the fraction of public taxes of the 2nd indiction, one third of a solidus by number, 1/3, which was also given to Apa Menas, soldier. † † Senouthios agrees. †

The word kampsa is unclear; it may be a byname or an occupation (camel-driver?). A 'klasma' was a fractional share or instalment of the tax assessment.
