The syntaximon was a consolidated poll-tax payment typical of Soknopaiou Nesos; the epimerismos aporon was a surcharge on taxpayers to cover the dues of those who could not pay. The heading date (Tybi 12, year 14) does not match the HGV date of 5 November 174, which corresponds to the last entries in year 15.
