An ostracon receipt recording that Aristomenes son of Sambathion performed or paid for one naubion of earthwork on a dike. It is dated 26 April AD 77, in the reign of Vespasian, probably from Apollonopolis.
A naubion was a unit of earth-moving work on dikes and canals, also commutable into a money tax. The name of the dike is only partly legible, and the provenance is uncertain.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
