A tax receipt from Soknopaiou Nesos in the Fayum, recording that Stotoetis, a priest of the first tribe of the god Soknopaios, paid 4 drachmas plus a 3-obol surcharge for the craftsmen's tax of year 17 of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus. It is dated 28 August 177.

In English machine translation

Year 17 of Aurelii Antoninus and Commodus, the lords Augusti, […] Mesore, epagomenal day 5. Paid to Pakysis […] of Soknopaiou Nesos, by Stotoetis, priest of the 1st tribe of Soknopaios, the great, great god, for the tax on craftsmen of year 17 … 4 drachmas, total 4 drachmas, with the additional charge of 3 obols. I, Herieus son of Ou…, […] have signed.

The cheironaxion was a tax on trades, here apparently paid for weaving; the amount of 4 drachmas is restored from the numeral. The 3 obols are an additional charge levied on top of the tax.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Receipt for Weavers’ Tax).
