An ostracon receipt from the 4th century AD recording that Onnophris and Tsenpatseous paid their share of several levies: the canon of the 13th indiction, charges connected with the primipilus, and freight charges including transport of recruits of the 12th indiction. Payment was made through the collector Oxous and the receipt is signed by Theodoros on his behalf.

In English machine translation

Onnophris and Tsenpatseous have paid their due share for the canon of the 13th indiction, for the mules (?) of the primipilus, for freight charge, and for freight charge of the recruits of the 12th indiction, through Oxous, kephalaiotes. I, Theodoros, have signed for him, as he has paid in full.

The primipilus levy supported military supplies delivered by a senior officer; 'bourdones' are probably mules used for transport. A kephalaiotes was a local head collector responsible for gathering such dues.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
