A short receipt in which Theodosios, a tax collector, acknowledges receiving one gold keration from a noblewoman whose name begins Trasi[…], connected with Georgios. The payment was made on account of the payment order (entagion) of a man named Paulos.

In English machine translation

To the most noble Trasi[…] […] daughter (?) of Georgios, Theodosios, greetings. I have received from you on account of the entagion of Paulos one keration of gold, making 1 keration of gold. I, Theodosios, collector, agree.

An entagion was an official order or assessment for payment; the apaitetes was the collector who exacted it. The recipient's name and her exact relation to Georgios are lost in the damaged opening.
