Fragmentary papyrus with a series of tax receipts from the reign of Severus Alexander, recording payments to collectors of money taxes of a village in the Arsinoite nome.

The 'philanthropon' (gratuity) appears to be a supplementary payment in wheat accompanying the money sums. Year 5 of Severus Alexander corresponds to AD 225/6.
