[…] of year […] of Trajan Caesar the lord […] registered from the month of Pharmouthi to the month of […] in the quarter of the Gymnasium […] 8 drachmas, total 8 drachmas […]

The tax term 'laike syntaxis' is likely connected with the laographia (poll tax); the right side of every line is lost, so details of the payer and period are uncertain.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Reçu d’impôt). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
