A series of receipts recording instalment payments by Heron of the tax on weavers at Euhemeria in the Arsinoite nome, paid through the secretary Tryphon in the second year of Nerva (AD 98). Payments of 7 and 5 drachmas are entered month by month from Tybi to Pharmouthi.
The word abbreviated 'progo(nos)' is usually taken to mean stepson; the second entry has no month name and presumably refers to Tybi 30. This is the first column of a document whose second column continues the receipts.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Receipts for Tax on Weaving). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
