A short tax receipt recording that Sabinus son of Sarapion paid 4 drachmas for the monodesmia tax and other charges on Pharmouthi 5 of year 3. It comes from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 2nd century AD.
Monodesmia was a tax probably levied on bundles of reeds or hay; the first line is a partly illegible name, perhaps of the collector.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Quittung über Zahlung der μονοδεσμία). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
