Monthly report by Ammonas son of Pauseirion, Herodes and their colleagues, overseers of the market tax at the Sarapeion, covering the month Epeiph of year 16 of Marcus Aurelius. It lists traders such as cucumber- and gourd-sellers with the days on which they paid. Written at Oxyrhynchus in AD 176.
The ōnē agoras was a tax or fee on market trading, here apparently levied on stallholders by the day; the numbers after each name seem to be the days of the month on which they traded or paid. The 16th year of Marcus Aurelius corresponds to AD 175/6.
