A receipt in which Aurelius Papirios, a former gymnasiarch and town councillor of Arsinoe, acknowledges that his tenant farmer Sarapion has paid in full the rent of 40 artabas of barley on 3 arouras of land. It dates to the reign of Severus Alexander (AD 222-231), probably from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

Aurelius Papirios, former gymnasiarch, councillor of the city of the Arsinoites, to Sarapion son of Phasis (?), farmer, greetings. I have received from you the rent of the 3 arouras of mine that you farm, 40 artabas of barley, in full. Year …, of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander Pius Felix Augustus, Epeiph 8.

The regnal year number is illegible, so only the reign of Severus Alexander fixes the date; the day is Epeiph 8. 'Phasei' may be the father's name or part of the farmer's name.
