A receipt issued by the farmers of the two-percent customs duty at the harbour of Syene to Psenthotes son of Herakleios for the duty on 13 jars of wine he imported. It was written by Julius Iamblichos on the fifth intercalary day of a regnal year of Trajan, between AD 106 and 114, at Elephantine/Syene.
The pentekoste was a 2% customs duty levied on goods passing through a harbour. A lagynos is a jar used for wine; the regnal year is illegible.
