A short account of tax payments under an apportioned levy (merismos), listing sums in talents paid in Hathyr for the month of Choiak by several individuals at Karanis, AD 363, with a total.
In English machine translation
Of the apportionment (merismos) in the month of Hathyr for Choiak:
Valerius, 23,300 talents
keph(...), 3,000 talents
Heras, 9,700 talents
keph(...), 3,000 talents
Aion, 14,⟦7⟧00 talents
heirs: Tamalei and Alia, 4,000 talents
Tapaeis, 8,750 talents
Total, 66,450 talents
The abbreviation keph(...) is unexplained, perhaps kephalaion ('principal' or a head-tax item). The stated total of 66,450 talents is reached only if the deleted 700 in Aion's entry is counted.
