Account of payments in money

A fragmentary register of money payments by individual taxpayers, listing names with patronymics and amounts in drachmas and obols, with a grand total of 440 drachmas 15 obols. It dates to the 2nd or 3rd century AD and probably comes from Euhemeria in the Arsinoite nome (Fayum).
The numerals at the start of some lines (9, 25, 26) are probably days of the month on which payments were made. 'Fatherless' (apator) designates a person without a legally recognized father, identified by his mother's name.
