In English machine translation

To Apollotas, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division, from Dioskoros, in the allotment (?), and associates, collectors of money taxes of Hephaistias. Summary account of the payments made to us for the reckoning of Mecheir and Phamenoth of the present 26th year of Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus. It is as follows: Administration (dioikesis), year 25: apomoira 240 drachmas, naubion 10 drachmas, additional charges 50 drachmas, epaurion 156 drachmas, additional charges 12 drachmas, exchange fee […], receipt fees 1 drachma 1 obol, total 4[…] drachmas; and to the public bank 245 drachmas. Grand total […] drachmas. Year 26, Pharmouthi 29.

One HGV record gives 20 May 186, probably for the second column of the same papyrus. The apomoira and naubion were taxes on vineyards and orchards and a dike/canal tax respectively; the reading 'in the allotment' after Dioskoros' name is uncertain.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Tax - Collectors’ Return). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
