Two tax receipts issued to Charite, daughter of Amazonios, a landowner in the Hermopolite nome. The first acknowledges 80 artabas of clean (grain?) for various taxes of the 17th (third) indiction, dated Phaophi 29 (26 October 329); the second, from the epimeletes Ammonios, records delivery of 28 Italian sextarii of wine from the produce of the 18th indiction.

In English machine translation

[…] […]ianus son of Phibion […] and Eulalios […] to Charite daughter of Amazonios, greetings. I have received from you for the 17th, that is the third new indiction, for diverse taxes […] eighty artabas of clean […] only. Phaophi 29. […] I have signed. Ammonios son of […] to Charite daughter of Amazonios. You have delivered from the produce of the 18th indiction twenty-eight Italian sextarii of wine. […] I, Ammonios, epimeletes, have received as stated above.

The indiction numbering (17th 'that is third', 18th) reflects the 15-year indiction cycle being counted continuously in this period. An epimeletes was an official responsible for collecting and supervising deliveries in kind.
