A short receipt recording payment, made through Apollos son of Petre, of 3 1/3 gold solidi for the poll tax of the 13th indiction. It was written by Paulos and countersigned by Jeremias, in the Hermopolite nome in the 7th or 8th century AD.

In English machine translation

† Month of Pachon 10, indiction 13. Through Apollos son of Petre (son of?) Pake, for the poll tax (andrismos) of the 13th indiction, 3 1/3 gold solidi by number. I, Paulos, (son?) of the notary, wrote it. † † Jeremias agrees.

Andrismos is the late-antique poll tax levied per adult male. The sum is read as '3, a third', i.e. 3 1/3 solidi; the phrase about Paulos and the notary is abbreviated and its exact sense is uncertain.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
