Year 5 of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, month of Neos Sebastos 19. Paid to the bank at Syene, of which Ammonios is in charge, for year 4, for fruit trees (akrodrya tax):
Pachnoubis son of Petearsnouphis,
1/2 obol, 16 drachmas (?), 32 (?)

Akrodrya are fruit-bearing trees; the tax was levied on orchard produce. The figures in the amount line (1/2 obol, 16, 32) are uncertain in meaning.
