A fragment of a tax account from Aphrodito in the 8th century AD, recording deductions made for sailors' wages against public taxes of the 15th indiction and the balance still owed.

In English machine translation

[G] [… ? lines lost …] […] deducted for wages of sailors and surplus (?) of public taxes of the 15th indiction […] [deducted for wages] of sailors and arrears of public taxes of the 15th indiction Remainder owed, to be paid in full

The sailors' wages probably relate to crews requisitioned for the Arab fleet, a regular burden on Aphrodito. The abbreviations 'pl(eious)' and 'apol(oipou)' are expanded by the editor and their exact sense is uncertain.

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.
