Letter from a tax contractor of the katalochismoi tax to public bankers of the Herakleopolite nome TM 219348Herakleopolites oder Oxyrhynchites

Opening of a letter or notice from Aurelius Sarapion, a councillor of Oxyrhynchus who held the contract for the tax on katalochismoi (registrations of transferred cleruchic land) in the Herakleopolite nome, to the two public bankers of that nome, Nemesianos and Herakleides also called Neilammon. The body is lost; the back mentions the months Pauni and Epeiph.

In English machine translation

The katalochismoi tax was levied on the registration of transfers of katoikic (settler) land and has no exact English equivalent. The titles of the councillors suggest a date in the 3rd century AD, but no date survives.
