† ὑπὲρ διαγραφῆς γ καταβολῆς […] …θου Διοσκόρου καὶ Θεοδώρου ἐνδοξοτάτων διὰ Ζαχαρίου χρυσοῦ κεράτια δεκαεννέα ἥμισυ τέταρτον, γίνεται κεράτια δεκαεννέα ἥμισυ τέταρτον. †

A short receipt recording a payment of 19 3/4 gold carats toward the third installment of the diagraphe tax, made through a certain Zacharias on behalf of (the heirs of?) the most glorious Dioskoros and Theodoros. It dates to the 6th century AD and probably comes from Antinoopolis.
The diagraphe was a late antique tax assessment paid in installments. The lost word before the names was probably a term for the heirs, as the descriptive title suggests; 'most glorious' (endoxotatos) is an honorific title of high-ranking officials.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as A Receipt for διαγραφή for the heirs of the ἘΝΔΟΞΟΤΑΤΟΙ Dioscorus and Theodorus). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
