In the consulship of our lords Diocletian for the 5th time and Maximian for the 4th time, year 10 and 9 of our lords Diocletian and Maximian Augusti and year 2 of our lords Constantius and Maximian Caesars, Augusti (?), Choiak 22. Ptolemaios son of Chairemon has paid, through Kopres, for the price of wine and chaff and wood and for the price of a camel, for the horiodeiktia of Karanis, ninety-two drachmas, total 92 drachmas. I, Horion, have signed. And on Tybi 21 likewise the same, for the annona, seventy-six drachmas, total 76 drachmas. I, Horion, have signed. And on Mecheir 3 likewise the same paid, for the price of annona wine, 3rd installment, for the horiodeiktia of Karanis, one hundred sixty drachmas, total 160 drachmas. I, Horion, have signed.

Horiodeiktia refers to a fiscal district defined by boundary survey, here that of Karanis; the payments relate to the annona, the levy in kind (here commuted to money) for the state and army. The given date corresponds to the last receipt, Mecheir 3.
