A penthemeros certificate recording that Polis son of Phatres performed his five days of compulsory labour on the dikes, on the desert-edge canal of Soknopaiou Nesos in the Fayum, Pauni 16 to 20 of year 9 of Septimius Severus and Caracalla (AD 201).
A penthemeros certificate attested completion of the five days of annual compulsory work on dikes and canals. Geta is styled Augustus here although in 201 he was only Caesar, and the text ends with an incomplete word, probably the start of the mother's name.
