A short tax receipt recording that 1/6 of a solidus was paid through the monk Elias toward the dapane (expenses levy) of the 10th indiction. It is dated Phamenoth 20 of the 9th indiction and signed by Ignatios, from the Hermopolite nome in the late 7th or 8th century.
In English machine translation
† Phamenoth 20, 9th indiction. I have received through Elias, monk,
for the dapane of the 10th indiction, of gold coin by count (?), 1/6 solidus, one sixth. †
† I, Ignatios, agree. †
Dapane, literally 'expenditure', was a levy for administrative expenses in early Islamic Egypt. The scribe first wrote 14th indiction and corrected it to 10th, so the payment was made in advance of the indiction for which it was due.
