Fragmentary tax receipt recording payments of the naubion tax on katoikic land, with surcharges and exchange fees, and a payment of the temple epistatikon credited to Polydeukes son of Chairas. It dates to the 2nd century AD.
The naubion was a tax originally connected with dike and canal work; the epistatikon was a levy for the temple overseers. Rhyparai ('dirty') drachmas refer to debased or worn coinage.
