A tax receipt recording that Pakysis paid 10 drachmas 4 obols to Ision, collector of money taxes at the village of Apias in the Arsinoite nome, for the naubion tax and associated surcharges. It is dated Year 13, Pauni 25.
The naubion was a tax connected with the maintenance of dykes and canals, originally reckoned by a unit of earth-moving work. The 'additional charges' and 'receipt fee' were small surcharges levied on top of the main tax.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as 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.
