A tax receipt from the village of Apias in the Arsinoite nome, recording that Pasion son of Syros paid 24 drachmas to Ision and his fellow collectors of money taxes. The payment covered a charge for doors, with additional fees, the exchange fee and the naubion tax for year 11.

In English machine translation

Year 12, Phamenoth 27. Pasion son of Syros has paid to Ision and associates, collectors of money taxes of the village of Apias, for the price of doors (?) and the additional charges, for year 11, twenty-four drachmas, and for exchange fee 4 (obols?), and for the naubion of year 11.

The 'price of doors' (timē thyrōn) is a money tax of the Roman Fayum whose exact basis is uncertain. The naubion was a tax for dike and canal work, and the amount paid for it is not stated in the surviving text.
