A tax receipt for half a solidus paid toward the public taxes (demosia) and the diagraphon of the assessment for the ninth indiction, received in the month of Phamenoth and also handed to Apa Severus. It is signed by Phoibammon, and the docket on the back, written in Coptic letters, names it as the receipt of Senouthios. It comes from the Hermopolite nome in the late 7th or 8th century AD.

Demosia and diagraphon are public tax charges assessed under the annual canon; the diagraphon is often taken as a poll-tax-like levy of the early Islamic period. The day of the month and part of the payer's name are illegible.
