Two successive tax receipts on one document from Karanis in the Fayum, recording payments to the collectors of money taxes (Sisois, later Satabous) for the one-sixth tax on orchards and related charges such as naubion, eparourion and surveying fees. The receipts date to years 8 and 10 of Antoninus Pius.

In English machine translation

Year 8 of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, […] paid to Sisois and associates, collectors of money taxes, […] for the sixth on orchards of the 7th year, Karanis, 3 drachmas, total 3 dr., for oil production 2 1/2 obols, for naubion 1 1/2 obols 2 chalkoi, for the additional charges 4 1/2 obols, for the eparourion 2 drachmas, total 2 dr., for the additional charges 1 obol, for the exchange fee 1/2 obol 2 chalkoi […] Heras son of Paesis, for land survey […] for the naubion of the katoikoi of the 8th year 4 1/2 obols, for the additional charges 1/2 obol, for the exchange fee 2 chalkoi. Year 10 of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, Pachon 7. Paid to Satabous and associates, collectors of money taxes, […] for the sixth on orchards of the 9th year, Karanis, 5 drachmas, total 5 dr. […] […] […]

The first receipt dates to year 8 (AD 144/5) and the second to Pachon 7 of year 10 (2 May AD 147), which explains the two dates in the records. The 'sixth' (hekte) was a tax on orchard and vineyard land; naubion was a levy tied to dike and canal work.
