An ostracon tax receipt from Elephantine issued by the tax collector Hermodoros through his assistant Sansnos. It records that Thinpachoum son of Pasenis paid 2 drachmas, on behalf of Petorzmethis son of Biencheus, as the price for the produce of a public palm grove in year 21. It is dated 18 November AD 181.
The payment is the price owed for dates harvested from state-owned palm groves, recorded under the name of the person liable. Year 22 refers to the reign of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus.
