Year 5 of Antoninus and Verus the lords Augusti, Thoth 9. Paid through Apollonios and associates, collectors of money taxes of Bakchias, by Alexandros son of Zoilos, through Chairas, for the naubion of the katoikoi for the fourth year, 1 drachma 1 1/2 obols, total 1 drachma 1 1/2 obols; additional charges 1/2 obol 2 chalkoi, exchange fee 2 chalkoi, receipt fee.

The naubion was a tax originally connected with the upkeep of dykes and canals, here levied on katoikic (settler) land. The last line, with its abbreviations and sums, is obscure and its translation is uncertain.
