A tax receipt acknowledging that Patermouthios son of Lak paid 3 gold solidi and 14 3/4 carats toward the public taxes (demosia) of the fourth indiction. It is dated Pachon 22 of the first indiction, in the 7th or 8th century AD.
The payment for the fourth indiction was receipted in the first indiction, so it is a late or delayed payment. The phrase with 'λι(τῷ)' and 'διατύπωσις' (official tax schedule) is abbreviated and its exact sense is uncertain; the signature at the end is illegible.

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