A tax receipt acknowledging payment of half a solidus for the poll tax (andrismos) of the first indiction, paid through Abba Basileios, a deacon. It is signed in Coptic by Antone, and dates from the late 7th or 8th century AD in the Hermopolite nome.

In English machine translation

† […] of the 3rd indiction. I have received through Abba Basileios, deacon, for the poll tax (andrismos) of the first indiction, one half of a counted solidus, total 1/2 counted solidus only. † I, Antone, agree. ††

Andrismos was a poll tax levied on adult males in early Islamic Egypt. The subscription is in Coptic with the Greek loanword for "agree" (stoichein), and the month and day at the start are lost.
