A short tax receipt recording that Charite, daughter of Amazonios, paid 6 talents as the money commutation of the barley tax quota for the 6th indiction, in the 10th pagus (Sinape) of the Hermopolite nome. It is dated Pauni 2 of the 8th indiction.

In English machine translation

8th indiction. Pauni 2. 10th pagus, Sinape. Charite (daughter) of Amazonios, on account of the commutation in money of the 6th indiction, of the canon (tax quota) for the price of barley, 6 talents.

Exargyrismos means converting a tax due in kind (here barley) into a cash payment. The payment for the 6th indiction is receipted in the 8th, so it was made late.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
