Tax receipt issued by the collector Kalaseiris to Petepoueris son of Karouris for 1 drachma 2 obols paid toward the levy for a boat in year 15, dated Phamenoth 14 (10 March AD 131) at Elephantine. Kakrelios wrote it for the illiterate taxpayer.

In English machine translation

Kalaseiris, collector. Petepoueris son of Karouris, his mother being Tisatis, has paid the apportioned tax for the fishing boat of year 15: 1 drachma 2 obols in debased coin. Phamenoth 14. I, Kakrelios, wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters.

The merismos haliados was an apportioned tax for a boat (haliás); the catalogue interprets it as a contribution for the postal boat. Rhypara drachmas are payments in debased bronze coinage.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Reçu pour la contribution du bateau postal). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
