A short receipt recording that a taxpayer paid 4 drachmas of crown tax for the village of Soknopaiou Nesos in the Arsinoite nome, through a collector of crown taxes, on Pharmouthi 21 of year 22.
The crown tax (stephanikon) was originally a 'gift' of crowns to the ruler and became a regular money tax. The payer's name is lost, and the reign of year 22 is not stated.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Receipt for Crown Tax). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
