A tax receipt recording that Dioskoros son of Psimanobet paid, through an agent named Dios, 7 carats toward the third installment of the public tax assessment of the fifteenth indiction. It was issued on Phamenoth 25 on behalf of the pagarchs by a tax receiver, at Antaiopolis in Byzantine Egypt.
The "canon" (kanon) was the annual tax assessment paid in installments; carats (keratia) were fractions of the gold solidus. The receiver's name is illegible.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Quittance analogue). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
