A receipt in which Akousilaos son of Amarion acknowledges to Stotoetis, collector of money taxes at the village of Philopator also called Theogenous, that he has received his salary (opsonion). It is dated Phamenoth 9 of an emperor's regnal year, probably in the reign of Hadrian, about AD 126-135.
Opsonion is a payment of wages or allowance, here apparently paid out of tax revenues. The emperor's name and the exact regnal year are lost, so the date is approximate.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Receipt for Opsonion). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
