An ostracon receipt from Thebes recording that Senphaeris son of Pabouchis paid 7 drachmas 3 obols, plus supplementary charges, for the tax on temple palm groves for the 13th year of Claudius. It was issued on 20 November AD 53 and signed by Kephalos.
Neos Sebastos was an honorific name for the month Hathyr. The 'supplementary charges' (prosdiagraphomena) were standard surcharges added to tax payments.
