A receipt recording that the managers of the estate of the lady Victorine paid 18 carats of gold toward the public taxes of the 4th indiction, together with the customary fees of the collector Ioannes and his assistants. Ioannes signs to acknowledge the payment, dated Mecheir 21 of the 4th indiction, in the 6th century AD.
Subadiuvae (Greek soubadiouba) were assistant officials serving under a tax collector; a carat (keration) was a fraction of the gold solidus. The opening and the name Ioannes in line 3 are partly restored.
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 18 Keratia). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
