An ostracon recording a series of payments, probably of a money tax, made by a man named Ninis in year 2, listed by day in the months Choiak and Tybi with amounts of 60 to 160 each. It probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum.
The abbreviation after Ninis is expanded as the name of his father, Amphiomis; the unit of the amounts (probably drachmas) is not stated. The last two lines and the ends of the surviving lines are lost.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
