A receipt recording that Psenis paid crown tax to Aurelius Heron and his fellow collectors responsible for the villages of Bakchias and Hephaistias. It was written in the month Mecheir of year 11 of Severus Alexander (AD 232) in the Arsinoite nome.
The crown tax (stephanikon) was originally a 'voluntary' gift of gold crowns to the emperor that became a regular levy. The day of the month and the end of the text are lost.
