In English machine translation

Harkonnesis […] for dike tax and other (taxes) […] (of year […] of Hadrian) Caesar the lord, (drachmas) […] Year 7, Pauni […]

The chomatikon was a tax for the upkeep of dikes and embankments. The month name Pauni is partly restored, and the editors read the date more broadly as 26 April to 24 June, covering Pachon and Pauni.

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 chômatikon). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
