Two fragmentary receipts for payment of the dike tax (chomatikon) for Trajan's 19th year, each for 6 drachmas 4 obols, issued by tax collectors in his 20th year. The payers are Kronion son of Kronion and a son of Heron; the receipts come from Tebtynis in the Arsinoite nome, AD 116.
The chomatikon was a tax levied for the upkeep of dikes and embankments of the irrigation system. Much of fragment A is restored on the model of fragment B.

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