Year 14 of Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus Dacicus, Pachon 13. Horion son of Herak[…] paid to […] and associates, collectors, for the sixth (tax) on gardens for year 13, at Karanis, 2 drachmas 1/2 obol; for olive production 1 1/2 obols 2 chalkoi; for naubion 1 obol 2 chalkoi; for additional charges 3 obols; for the eparoureion 1 drachma 2 1/2 obols; for additional charges 1/2 obol; for exchange fee 2 chalkoi.
The 'sixth on gardens' (apomoira-type levy) was a tax on orchards and vineyards; naubion was a tax for dike and canal work, and eparoureion a land surcharge. The two receipts are dated separately, hence two dates.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Receipts for Garden Taxes). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
