Ostracon tax receipt issued by the money-tax collectors Domitius Phannianus and Germanus of Elephantine, recording a payment of 4 drachmas for the merismoi (apportioned taxes) of year 12 of Antoninus Pius. The payer's name is partly illegible; his mother was Thinnesis.
Merismoi were taxes apportioned among the inhabitants of a district, with no exact English equivalent. The second collector's title is restored.
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 μερισμοί). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
