A tax receipt recording that Serenos, a veteran and former decurion, paid bronze money for taxes on garden land (paradeisos) at Karanis for the 24th year of Caracalla. The payment, credited to the month of Pauni, covers the main tax, the naubion, additional charges, the eparourion and an exchange fee.
The naubion was a dyke and canal tax, and the eparourion a charge levied per aroura of land; the kollybos was a surcharge for exchanging money. The figures follow the edition's abbreviations and one amount is partly illegible.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Quittung über Grundsteuer für Gartenland im Hebebezirk Karanis). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
