Receipts for monodesmia tax on hay from Euhemeria TM 10957Euhemeria (Arsinoites)8. Sept. 210 (?)

A series of dated payment entries, apparently for the monodesmia tax on hay and other produce from the village of Euhemeria in the Arsinoite nome, paid through Maron, a village elder. Instalments of a few drachmas are recorded month by month from Mecheir of year 18 through Thoth of the following year, probably around AD 210.

In English machine translation

The monodesmia was a levy, paid in money, connected with bundles of hay and other fodder crops; the word is largely restored here. The catalogue calls the text a contract fragment, but its content is a sequence of tax payment entries written on the back of the papyrus.
