Receipt for payment of the enkyklion, the tax on property transfers, by Tinoutis also called Asklepias for the purchase of catoecic land bought through the record office in Alexandria, from the kleros of Ptolemaios. It dates to the reign of the Philippi, around AD 245.

In English machine translation

[b] […] Year [...] of Marci Iulii Philippi Caesares, the lords, [month ...] 7(?): Tinoutis also called Asklepias paid to the account of the enkyklion [...] of the Boukolikos(?) [...] for the purchase of [...] arouras [...] bought through the katalogeion in Alexandria in the present year [...] from the kleros of Ptolemaios near the village [...] from [...]u, daughter of Tyrannous(?), price [...] tax [...] […] I, the official in charge of the katalochismoi, have signed.

The katalochismoi were registrations of transfers of catoecic (settler) land, handled through the katalogeion, the central record office in Alexandria. Much of the formula is restored by analogy with similar receipts.
