Year 36, Pauni 11. Etearchos son of Kleon, of the Helenean (deme?), acknowledges that he has received from Anosis, village scribe, from the gift-estate of Apollonios around Philadelphia, in accordance with the order from Aristandros the oikonomos, for the retailers in Bakchias and Hephaistias, according to the terms they agreed with Aristandros the oikonomos of the Arsinoite nome, at a price of 6 drachmas in silver for the Arsinoite six-chous metretes of sweet new wine, 40 metretai of wine; and for the guards under him, from the sixth (apomoira) due to Philadelphos, for their wages, likewise 75 metretai of wine; in all ⟦105⟧ 115 metretai of wine. Etearchos acknowledges that he has received in accordance with the receipt and has signed below.

The apomoira was a tax of one sixth on vineyard produce assigned to the cult of the deified queen Arsinoe Philadelphos. The scribe corrected the total from 105 to 115, which matches 40 plus 75.
