A bank receipt recording that a man named Pasis paid 10 drachmas for the eparourion, a tax on garden land, to the inspector Dioskourides and the banker Artemidoros, in the presence of Asklepiades, agent of Dion. It probably comes from the Arsinoite nome (Fayum).

In English machine translation

Year […], Mesore […]3. Paid to Dioskourides the inspector (dokimastes) and Artemidoros the banker, in the presence of Asklepiades the agent of Dion, by Pasis: the eparourion tax on the […] garden for year […], 10 drachmas […] 10 drachmas […]

The eparourion was a money tax levied on garden or orchard land; the word is restored here but supported by the catalogue title. The regnal year and the day are lost, so the receipt cannot be dated precisely.

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