Fragment of a tax account or receipt from Oxyrhynchus, listing payments in drachmas and obols for several levies, including a prison-guard tax, an assessment connected with brick-making in various city quarters, and the pig tax paid for Sarapas, a slave of Apollonius Claudius Demetrius. It dates to the 2nd century AD.
The term rendered 'step' (bathmos) seems to be a unit of assessment in the city quarters; its exact meaning is uncertain. Pammenes' Garden, Hermaios and Dromos of Thoeris are named quarters (amphoda) of Oxyrhynchus.'
