Fragment of a tax account from the pagarchy of Herakleopolis, apparently drawn up in the village of Bousiris for a sixth indiction. It lists taxpayers from several villages (Phebichis the Lesser, Assya, Philonikos) with amounts in gold solidi paid in a first and a second instalment (tablion). It dates to the 8th century AD.
A tablion here seems to denote an instalment or register section of the tax assessment. The abbreviations after some amounts (ἀμφιβολ, ἐκλ βλ) are obscure; the first may mean 'doubtful'.
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.
