A receipt from Antinoopolis in which Isidora, sister of the late councillor Silvanus, acknowledges to the incoming exactor (tax official) of the Antinoite nome that she has been paid, through the local receiver, for a cloak and a tunic she delivered for the 10th indiction. From the total of 3,475 denarii a deduction was made for the treasury, leaving 2,250 denarii.

In English machine translation

To the consuls designate for the third time, Mecheir 12. To […], successor to the office of exactor of the Antinoite (nome), from Isidora, sister of the late Silvanus, former magistrate, councillor, of the tribe Sabeina. I have been paid by the local receiver, on your order, for the price of what was delivered by me for the 10th indiction of good fortune, 1 cloak, 1 tunic, the total amounting to 3,475 denarii of the silver coinage of the Augusti, total 3,475 denarii, from which are deducted for 6 1/2 percent to the treasurer 225 denarii, total 225 denarii; total the remainder, 2,250 denarii in full. The receipt is valid, and having been asked the formal question I have acknowledged it. I, Isidora, have been paid the aforesaid money. I, […]chios son of Isidoros, wrote on her behalf since she does not know letters.

The figures do not add up as restored: 3,475 minus 225 gives 3,250, so the remainder written as 2,250 may be a scribal or editorial error. The exactor was the chief tax official of a nome in the 4th century.
