End of a receipt in which the landowner Aurelia Thaibis, daughter of Hermophilos, acknowledges payment in full, presumably of rent, and confirms that all public taxes and levies on the land remain her responsibility. Someone signed for her because she was illiterate. It is dated 25 July 281, probably at Hermopolis.

In English machine translation

[…] in full, all the public dues on the land and the supplementary levies being my responsibility as the landowner. The receipt is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. Year 6 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Probus Germanicus Maximus Gothicus Maximus Parthicus Maximus Pius Felix Augustus, Mesore 1. I, Aurelia Thaibis daughter of Hermophilos, […] in full as […] I, […] son of Theus (?), wrote on her behalf, since she says she does not know letters.

The beginning, naming the payer and the amount, is lost. 'Epimerismoi' were supplementary tax assessments apportioned on landholders.
