[… ? lines lost …] Year 31. [Paid by] Pases [son of Semtheus, for] the eparourion tax of the garden of Isokrates for year 31, 4 drachmas. Year 31, Mesore 25. Paid into the collection office in the city, in the presence of Iason, agent of Dion, by Pases son of Semtheus, for the eparourion tax of the garden of Isokrates for year 31, four drachmas.

The eparourion was a Ptolemaic tax levied per aroura on gardens and orchards. The text is written twice, a short upper copy (partly lost) and a full lower copy, as is usual for early Ptolemaic receipts.
