Two fragments from the archive of Dioskoros of Aphrodite. The first is a tax receipt issued by Ioannes, receiver of taxes, to the house of Dioskoros son of Psimanobet for payments in carats against arrears dating from the time of the former prefects Julian and Enoch. The second is the end of an entagion (payment order or receipt) for grain owed on village dues of Aphrodite, with a subscription by one Viktor.
