Farewell. Year 9, Pachon 14.
[...] of the nitron tax, 1 talent 1458 drachmas 22 (?), 2 obols
[...] of the quarter (tax?), 1194 drachmas 4 (?)
[...] ... 32 (drachmas?), 5 obols
The nitrike was a tax or monopoly charge on nitron (natron); the 'quarter' (tetarte) is probably another levy, but its exact sense here is uncertain. The figures following the drachma totals are unclear in the edition.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Brieffragment mit Abrechnung). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
