Two documents on one papyrus: a short note of 24 May 286 concerning money taxes, and a receipt of 23 August 286 in which the landowner Aurelius Eudaimon alias Herminos acknowledges that the farmers Periodos and Besarion paid in full the barley rent on land in the allotment of Agathokles, with the landowner bearing the public taxes.

In English machine translation

Year 2 and 1 of our lords Diocletian and Maximian Augusti, Pachon 29. […]amon, of money taxes on the produce of the past year 1 (?): [Sa]rapion son of Herminos, … aged 12. I, Aurelius Paris, have signed. Aurelius Eudaimon alias Herminos, son of Herminos, to Aurelii Periodos son of Dioskoros and Besarion son of Silvanus, farmers, greetings. I have received by measure the barley rent for the 1 1/2 arouras (?) which you farm […] from the allotment of Agathokles, in full, from the produce of the current year 2 and 1 of Diocletian and Maximian Augusti, all public charges being my responsibility as the landowner. Year 2 and 1, Mesore 30. I, Aurelius Eudaimon alias Herminos, have signed as stated above.

The two dates correspond to the two texts: Pachon 29 (24 May 286) for the first note and Mesore 30 (23 August 286) for the receipt. The first note is obscure; the word read 'kainop' is not understood, and the fraction for the land area is uncertain.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
