The phoros hierou apotaktou was a fixed rent or levy connected with temple property; the exact nature of the charge is debated. Much of the text is restored, including the word 'apotaktou'.

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