The syntaximon was a fixed-rate personal tax in the Arsinoite nome, often equated with the poll tax. Much of the text, including taxpayers' names, is restored or lost.

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 Syntaximon and Other 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.
