A tax receipt recording that Sambas son of Onnophris paid, through Syros, 16 drachmas to Sotas, collector of money taxes at the village of Herakleia, plus 2 drachmas for the naubion tax on katoikic land. It dates to year 9, probably AD 200-201, in the Arsinoite nome.
The naubion was a tax originally tied to dyke and canal work, here levied on katoikic land. The 16 drachmas are identified in the catalogue title as the arithmetikon katoikon, a money tax on katoikoi.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Arithmetikon Katoikon and Naubion Katoikon). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
