Year 21 of Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Parthicus Maximus Britannicus Maximus Pius Augustus, Pauni 12, for the account of Pachon. Abous son of Satabous has paid for crown tax of the 20th year, of Soknopaiou Nesos, sixteen drachmas, total 16 drachmas. And on Epeiph 13, for the account of Epeiph, Pakto(?) paid for crown tax of the 20th year, of Soknopaiou Nesos, twelve drachmas, total 12 drachmas, and Onnophris his brother likewise […] twelve, total 12 drachmas, […] Sotas son of Satabous […] […]

The crown tax (stephanikon) was originally a contribution for a golden crown to the emperor and became a regular money tax. The two dates correspond to the two dated entries, Pauni 12 and Epeiph 13.
