| Summary of Content |
Harpaesis, son of Petobastis, is confirmed by Pyrros, son of Harmais, of having paid the compulsory labor tax for the 6th regnal year, in an amount of 1 kite. A name Pachnoumis is written between the two names of the payer's identification, but Devauchelle suggests that it was a fault because of the erasion of Pachnoumis. |
