A receipt recording payments of gold carats made to the most admirable Georgios on account of the Thebaid, for the village inhabitants of Nagogis, in the eighth indiction. Payments were made in the names of Sophia daughter of Taurinos (4 carats) and Menas son of Cheidos (6 1/3 carats), totalling 10 1/3 carats. It dates from the 7th century AD and comes from the Hermopolite area.
The komokatoikoi are the registered inhabitants of a village, here paying as a fiscal group. The sum is reckoned in carats (keratia), fractions of a gold solidus; the subscription with the names of Phoibadios and Taurinos is partly illegible.
