Ostracon receipt recording that Kallis paid 1,024 drachmas for the price of wine owed to the annona (state supply levy) assessed on the village of Philadelphia. It dates to the month Thoth of the regnal years 7 and 6, i.e. August/September 290 AD, in the Arsinoite nome.
In English machine translation
(Year) 7 and (year) 6, Thoth. Kallis has paid, for the price of annona wine of the 4th levy (?) of the village of Philadelphia, 1,024 drachmas, (total) 1,024.
The double regnal year refers to the joint reign of Diocletian (year 7) and Maximian (year 6). The phrase rendered '4th levy' (δ ἐπιγραφῆς) is uncertain; epigraphe denotes an assessment or levy, and 'thousand' in the sum is restored, confirmed by the figure Α κδ.
