A running tax receipt recording instalment payments by Phanomgeus son of Phanomgeus to the collectors of money taxes, mainly for the syntaximon (a poll-tax-type levy) and smaller charges such as guard taxes and the levy for those unable to pay. It covers years 6 to 8 of Antoninus Pius, beginning 17 September AD 144, probably at Karanis.

The syntaximon was a consolidated money tax collected in instalments; the epimerismos aporon was a charge shared out among taxpayers to cover the dues of those without means. The payer's name and the village are largely restored.
