Year 30 of Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus. Akousilaos son of Hatres has worked for the dike tax of year 30, Mesore 10 to 14, on the dike of Psenarpsenesis (?) of Philadelphia, for the five-day period.
The five-day period (penthemeros) was the annual corvée each adult man owed for maintaining irrigation dikes in Roman Egypt. The expansion of the dike's name as Psenarpsenesis is the editor's resolution of an abbreviation.
