A tax receipt from the village of Tanis in the Arsinoite nome, recording that Isas son of Ion paid 4 drachmas and then another 8 drachmas for the arithmetikon tax of the katoikoi for year 24. The payment was made through Aurelius Pasipsemis and the other collectors of money taxes, on 27 November 216, under Caracalla.
The arithmetikon katoikon was a money tax levied on katoikic (settler) land; Hadrianos was a month name used under the emperors corresponding to Choiak. The closing phrase guarantees no other receipt was issued for this payment.
