Fragmentary receipt for a money tax of 480 drachmas, dated in the fourteenth year of an unnamed emperor, in the month Epeiph. It comes from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 2nd century AD.
The emperor's name is lost, so the regnal year 14 cannot be tied to a specific year. The kind of tax paid does not survive.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Geldsteuerquittung). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
