In English machine translation

[1] 4 Papremitis son of Petesthis has paid for the tax on tanners for the 16th year of Severus and Antoninus the lords, Pii Augusti, on account of the month Phamenoth, 4 drachmas 1 1/2 obols, total 4 drachmas 1 1/2 obols. Year 17, Pharmouthi. And on account of Pharmouthi 4 drachmas 1 1/2 obols, total 4 drachmas 1 1/2 obols. And on account of the month Pachon 4 drachmas, total 4 drachmas. And on account of Epeiph 4 drachmas 3 obols, total 4 drachmas 3 obols. [2] … Papremitis son of Petesthis has paid for the tax on tanners, year 16 of Severus and Antoninus the lords, Pii Augusti, 10 drachmas, total ten drachmas. Year 16, Pachon 3.

The second receipt is dated Pachon 3 of year 16 (AD 208), earlier than the recorded date range, which corresponds to Pharmouthi of year 17. The phrase 'on account of' renders eis arithmesin, a reckoning of the instalment due for a given month.
