A fragmentary receipt, probably for payment of a merismos (an apportioned tax), mentioning a tax collector and a sum of 3 obols. It is dated to Mesore 27 of a regnal year of an unnamed emperor, probably in the 2nd century AD.

In English machine translation

The merismos was a tax levied by apportioning a required sum among the taxpayers. The reading 'collector' (praktor) is an expanded abbreviation in a damaged context.
