Year twenty-two of Imperator Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, Pauni […]. Horos, fatherless, son of S[…], has paid through Heron and associates, collectors (praktores), for the syntaximon of the twenty-first year, at Theadelphia, forty-four silver drachmas, total 44 drachmas 1/2 obol 2 chalkoi; for the pig tax 1 drachma 1 obol; for the magdolophylakes 3 obols 2 chalkoi; for the prison-guard tax […]; for the river-guard tax 1 obol 2 chalkoi; for the guards 5 1/2 obols and […] 4 1/2 obols; and for the levy for the poor of the same twenty-first year eighteen silver drachmas 1/2 obol, total 18 drachmas 1/2 obol, having made use of no other receipt up to the present day, because I have taken up the entire payment of the year, with no other document.

The syntaximon was a consolidated money tax in the Arsinoite nome; the 'levy for the poor' (epimerismos aporon) spread the unpaid taxes of absconded or insolvent persons over other taxpayers. Magdolophylakes were watchtower guards.
