A short tax receipt recording that Elias paid five keratia toward the diagraphon tax of Parembole as part of the canon (the regular assessment). It is dated Choiak 21 of an 11th indiction and signed by Julius, and comes from Arsinoe (Arsinoiton Polis) in the 7th century AD.

In English machine translation

[recto] Choiak 21, 11th indiction. Elias, for the diagraphon of Parembole, 1st (instalment?) of the canon, five keratia, total 5 keratia. Julius † [verso] † Choiak 21, indiction, 5 keratia †

The diagraphon was a money tax, and the canon the regular annual tax assessment; Parembole is probably a district or quarter of the city. The 'a' after Parembole may mark the first instalment.
