The arithmetikon katoikon was a tax levied on katoikoi (military settlers' descendants holding katoecic land); the name of the first tax is lost. Much of the wording, including the payer's name, is restored.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Receipt for Arithmetikon Katoikon and Another Unidentified Tax). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
