A declaration to Zoilos, strategos of the Thinite nome, by Phentepasthes and his partners, overseers of a tax contract, reporting that no revenue was collected between 11 and 15 Tybi because nothing was sold. It is dated 11 January 143 under Antoninus Pius.
Epiteretai were supervisors of tax-farming contracts, filing periodic returns of receipts. The tax called komaktoria is obscure, apparently a levy on sales handled by village agents; its reading here is partly restored.
