A grain tax receipt from Thebes recording two small deliveries of wheat, each one-twelfth of an artaba, into the metropolis granary from the harvest of Commodus' 21st year. The payments were made in Pauni (June 181 AD) on behalf of the South quarter by Phaminis son of Psemptos and by Herakles son of Pikos, the latter through Apollodoros.
The "twelfth" is written with the numeral 12, which here denotes the fraction 1/12 of an artaba. "South" refers to a district or quarter of Thebes; the date given corresponds to the first payment on Pauni 8.
