In English machine translation
Year 16. Onnophris son of Akousilaos.
Choiak 26, 40; 27, 40; 29, 40;
30, 40; Tybi 2, 50;
4, 40; 5, 40.
The text gives only numerals after each date (40, 50) without naming the unit or the tax; the catalogue describes it as a money tax receipt, so the amounts are presumably sums of copper drachmas or similar.
