A receipt in which Aphrodisia, acting through her son as guardian and scribe because she was illiterate, acknowledges payments of money rent from the lessee of an oil-press she leased out at Euhemeria in the Arsinoite nome. The first payment of 60 drachmas was made in Mecheir of Domitian's 14th year (AD 95), followed by further instalments recorded through the summer.
The receipt was kept as a running record, with later instalments added below the original receipt; the date range reflects the last surviving entries (Epeiph and the month Kaisareios, i.e. Mesore).
