Two fragments of a tax account in gold solidi from Aphrodito (Aphrodites Kome) in the Antaiopolite nome, 8th century AD. Each surviving entry gives an amount plus expenses, a total, the sum actually collected, and the balance remaining.

In English machine translation

[Fragment 1] [recto] [... lines lost ...] [...] 1/2 1/3, for expenses 5 solidi, total 88 2/3 solidi, of which collected [...] [verso] [... lines lost ...] [...] for expenses 2 2/3 solidi, total 40 solidi, of which collected solidi, 39 solidi, remainder 1 solidus [...] [Fragment 2] [recto] [... lines lost ...] [...] 1/2 1/12, total 43 1/3 1/12 solidi, of which collected solidi, 41 1/2 1/3 1/12 solidi, remainder [...] [verso] [... lines lost ...] [...] 42 1/2 1/3 solidi, of which collected solidi, 39 solidi, remainder 3 1/2 1/3 solidi, in excess (?)

The 'expenses' (dapanē) were a surcharge added to the basic tax assessment in early Islamic Egypt. The final word, read as 'more', may mark a surplus rather than a deficit.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
