In English machine translation

[recto] ☧ The village of Aphrodite has paid, through […], receiver, on account of the regular taxes of the assessment of the sixth indiction, for measuring by Mamas (?), one hundred gold solidi of full weight, simple. Total: 100 gold solidi, simple only. And for your security and that of the treasury I have made this receipt as stated above […] [… lines lost …] [verso] Written Phamenoth 12, of the sixth indiction.

The "kanonika" were the regular fixed land taxes assessed per indiction; "entagion" is a formal receipt issued to taxpayers. The paying village, Aphrodite, lay in the Antaiopolite nome, though the record gives Antinoopolis as the place of writing.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Quittance). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
