A tax receipt from Mouses, collector of the linen levy for the 8th indiction, to the landowner Charite daughter of Amazonios, confirming she paid her share of white, raw and unworked linen. It lists her private and public land holdings across the toparchies and pagi of the Hermopolite nome, around AD 319-320.

In English machine translation

The collector of linen for the 8th indiction to Charite daughter of Amazonios. You have paid the share falling to you of white linen, raw linen and unworked linen for 498 arouras; thus, by toparchy: 2nd toparchy, private land 57 1/2 arouras; 3rd toparchy, private land 15 1/4 1/16 arouras; 4th toparchy, private land 14 arouras; 5th pagus, private land 95 1/4 arouras, public land 1 1/2 aroura; 6th toparchy, private land 29 1/2 arouras; 8th toparchy, private land 97 1/4 1/8 1/16 arouras, public land 18 arouras; 9th toparchy, private land 42 1/2 arouras, public land 13 arouras; 10th toparchy, private land 50 arouras; 11th toparchy, private land 52 1/4 1/8 arouras, public land 2 arouras; 12th toparchy, private land 29 arouras, public land 1/4 1/16 aroura; 16th toparchy, private land 1 aroura; total 683 3/4 (?) arouras, public land 39 […] I, Mouses, collector, have signed.

The opening figure of 498 arouras does not match the itemized total, which is partly damaged; the 'toparchy' and 'pagus' were administrative districts of the nome, the pagus replacing the toparchy in this period.
