A tax receipt recording that Ptolemaios paid 12 drachmas for the monodesmia tax on hay and other produce for the 24th year of the emperor Commodus, through the village elders. It comes from the Arsinoite nome and dates to AD 183-184.
In English machine translation
Ptolemaios son of Hera[…] has paid

of the 24th year of Aurelius Commodus [Antoninus]
Augustus, through the elders of the village […]
12 drachmas.
Monodesmia (literally 'single bundle') was a levy connected with hay and similar crops, often paid in money; it has no exact English equivalent. The 24th year of Commodus counts his regnal years from Marcus Aurelius's reign, corresponding to AD 183/4.
