A tax receipt recording payments by Julius Serenus, a former decurion, of the land taxes on vineland for the 24th year, credited to the month Choiak. It was issued at Hephaistias in the Arsinoite nome in January 217, under Caracalla.

In English machine translation

Year 25 of Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Parthicus Maximus Britannicus Maximus Germanicus Maximus Pius Augustus, Tybi 12, for the account of Choiak. Julius Serenus, former decurion, has paid for vineland, for year 24, at Hephaistias: copper, 1 talent; naubion, 240 (drachmas), additional charges 1,250; eparourion 4,000, additional charges 300; exchange fee 200.

Naubion (a tax for dyke work) and eparourion (a per-aroura surcharge) are land taxes with no exact English equivalent. The sums are in copper currency, and the drachma units after the talent are implied rather than written.
