In English machine translation

[Paid by] Psenchonsis son of Abos for palm groves (tax) of year 5 […] of 16 1/32 (?) arouras, 2 drachmas 4 1/2 obols, total 6 drachmas 3 obols and [the additional charges. Year 5 of Nero] Claudius Caesar [Augustus Germani]cus Imperator … […]ekatou […] I have signed.

The figures in line 2 (area and rate) are abbreviated and partly obscure, so the reading of the land area is uncertain. The "additional charges" (prosdiagraphomena) were surcharges paid on top of the main tax.

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