A receipt addressed to Ioannes, a chartularius (accounts official), crediting him with payments in gold for the first levy of grain commuted into money (adaeratio), made through Gerontios and another person. It is signed in a 12th indiction year and comes from the Hermopolite nome.
Adaeratio is the commutation of a tax in kind (here grain) into a money payment. The stated total of 55 solidi does not match the sum of the two payments of 26, suggesting a reading or scribal problem.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Receipt for Adaeratio). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
