A short tax receipt in which Klaudios acknowledges receiving, through the soldier Menas, one sixth of a solidus for public taxes and the diagraphe of the tenth indiction. It is dated Pharmouthi 1 of the tenth indiction and was written on Klaudios' behalf by Viktor; it probably comes from the Hermopolite nome in the 7th or 8th century.
