A series of receipts recording instalment payments of the crown tax (stephanikon) to Aurelius Ptolemaios, collector of crown taxes, many made through a certain Maron. The payments of 4, 8 and 12 drachmas were made on various dates in the Arsinoite nome under Severus Alexander (AD 222-235).

In English machine translation

The crown tax (stephanikon) was originally a gift of gold crowns to the ruler and later became a regular money levy. The emperor's titulature, Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus, is restored here to fit the date range of Severus Alexander given in the records.
