Receipt recording that Tapais, a female weaver of Soknopaiou Nesos, paid installments of 20 and 18 drachmas of trade tax to Serenos, the tax farmer, in AD 184 under Commodus.

In English machine translation

Year 24 of Marcus Lucius Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus, Pachon …. Tapais, weaver, of Soknopaiou Nesos, has paid to Serenos, lessee of the tax on hair-cutting (?) and the trade tax, on account 20 drachmas, total 20 drachmas. Pachon 5, a further 18 drachmas, total 18 drachmas.

The cheironaxion was a tax on craft trades; the abbreviation kop(ês) trich(os), probably 'cutting of hair', is uncertain in meaning. The day of the first payment is illegible.
