A tax receipt recording that Syros paid 10 drachmas for the naubion tax on katoikic land to Helenos and his fellow collectors of money taxes for a village. It is dated 2 June 208 under Septimius Severus, Caracalla and Geta.
The naubion was a tax connected with the upkeep of dykes and canals, here levied on land of the katoikoi (settler-class landholders). The village name is lost; Geta is oddly styled both Caesar and Augustus.
