Fragment of a tax receipt or account listing small payments in obols and chalkoi for several land taxes (naubion, eparourion, apomoira) with their surcharges and exchange fees. It comes from the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 2nd or 3rd century AD.
Naubion was a tax for dike and canal work, eparourion a tax levied per aroura of land, and apomoira a levy on vineyards and orchards; prosdiagraphomena and kollybos were surcharges and exchange fees added to payments. The final sigma is expanded as symbolika, a fee for issuing the receipt.
