Year 12, the same woman, for naubion of the katoikoi of the same year 12, for the reckoning of Pachon, 320 drachmas of copper, additional charges 35, exchange fee 10, receipt fee 1 obol.

Naubion was a tax for dike and canal works; the prosdiagraphomena, kollybos and symbolika are surcharges and fees added to the main payment. Enaphesia was a tax on katoikic land, and 'dirty' drachmas refers to debased silver coinage.
