An ostracon receipt recording that Senyrios son of Psemonches paid, through an agent Premmechis, a tax of 3 drachmas and 1 1/2 obols for year 23 of Antoninus Pius. It was issued on 30 July 160 at Eileithyiopolis (Elkab).

In English machine translation

Senyrios son of Psemonches has paid, through Premmechis the younger son of Haretis, for the tax of year 23 of Antoninus Caesar the lord, 3 drachmas (?) 1 1/2 obols of copper. Year 23, Mesore 6.

The word for the tax (telos) is generic and the specific levy is not named. The sequence after 'drachmas' is partly illegible, but the sum is spelled out as three drachmas.

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