Summary of Content receipt of the tax farmers Herakleides and Isidoros through the assistant Pachompsachis. The text is supposed to be a fake, cf. O.Bankes p. 35. But perhaps ist was only read wrongly? The amount paid is 12 dr. and 3. ob., which does not fit the usual installments for poll tax or trade tax. The tax might be geometria phoinikonon.
Location of Composition Aswan / Syene Upper Egypt, 1st nome Egypt (Certainty: high)
