Two receipts on one document, one for a payment called the 'price of gazelles' and one for the tax on tanners, both for year 13 of Septimius Severus and Caracalla. It probably dates to early 205 AD and may come from the Apollonopolite nome.

In English machine translation

[Paid by …] for the price of gazelles, year 13 [of Severus and Antoninus the] lords Pii Augusti, […] Mecheir 3. [Paid by …] for the tax of the tanners, year 13 of Severus [and Antoninus the lords Pii] Augusti, 4 drachmas 1 1/2 obols, total 4 drachmas 1 1/2 obols.

The 'price of gazelles' (timē dorkōnōn) was a levy connected with hunting or supplying gazelles, perhaps their hides for tanners. The payers' names and the amount of the first receipt are lost.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Reçus de l’impôt des tanneurs et du prix des gazelles). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
