Tax receipt dated 26 June 213 (Epeiph 2, year 21 of Caracalla), recording payments made for the month of Pauni by Julius Serenus, apparently a former decurion, on behalf of the villages of Hephaistias and Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome. The sums are 35 drachmas 2 obols for Hephaistias and 92 drachmas 2 obols for Philadelphia.
The name Julius Serenus and his title of ex-decurion are largely restored. The phrase 'for the account of' (arithmesis) refers to the month for which the payment was credited, here Pauni.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Steuerquittung für Hephaistias und Philadelpheia). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
