A tax receipt recording payments by Julius Serenus, a former decurion, of land taxes on vineyard land in the tax district of Hephaistias in the Arsinoite nome. The payments, made in copper money on Tybi 11 and Tybi 20 of year 2 of Elagabalus (AD 219), cover the vineyard tax, naubion (dike tax), eparourion and exchange fees for years 1 and 2.
The emperor named Marcus Aurelius Antoninus here is Elagabalus. Naubion was a tax for dike and canal maintenance, eparourion a surcharge on land; 'prosdiagraphomena' were supplementary charges added to the main payment.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
