A receipt issued in the name of the lady Viktorine to her estate manager (pronoetes) Julianus, acknowledging his payment of 13 gold solidi 17 1/2 carats as the first instalment of the tax quota (canon) for the eighth indiction. It dates to Hathyr 7 of an eighth indiction, sometime between the mid-6th and mid-7th century AD.
The canon was the annual tax assessment paid in instalments (katabolai). A pronoetes was an estate manager. The place is inferred from the alternative publication as a Hermopolis papyrus (P.Herm. 42).
