A private receipt in which a woman, Eucharis daughter of Petesis, acting with her guardian, acknowledges to the tenant Phaesis that she has received the rents for catoecic land he farms near Kerkesoucha and makes no further claims up to and including year 17. It dates to AD 208-209, in the Arsinoite nome.
Catoecic land was allotment land originally granted to military settlers, later held privately with fiscal privileges. Year 17 is presumably that of Septimius Severus, matching the date AD 208-209.
