A tax receipt recording payments made by Konnos son of Konnos, whose mother was Taareotis, to Maximus and his fellow collectors of money taxes. It covers the syntaximon (a poll-tax-like levy) and small charges for watchtower guards, prison guards and the river guard, paid on Tybi 14 in a regnal year of Antoninus Pius, in the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

Year [1]4 (?) [or later teen year] of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, Tybi 14. Paid to Maximus and his fellow collectors of money taxes, Konnos son of Konnos son of […], his mother being Taareotis, for the syntaximon […] 24 drachmas, total 24 drachmas, […] another 20 drachmas 1/2 obol 2 chalkoi, total 20 drachmas 1/2 obol 2 chalkoi, […] for the watchtower guards 4 obols 2 chalkoi, for the prison guards 2 1/2 obols, for the river guard tax 1 obol 2 chalkoi, for the double tax (?) 1 obol

The regnal year is partly lost (a year in the teens of Antoninus Pius, hence 148-156). The syntaximon was a combined money tax levied in the Arsinoite nome, and 'diplon' is an obscure surcharge.

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 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.
