Notes on the Translation

This papyrus fragment appears to be a tax receipt or record from Roman Egypt, specifically mentioning the poll-tax (λαογραφία). It references the reign of Antoninus Caesar (likely Antoninus Pius, mid-2nd century CE), and includes names of individuals involved in the transaction. The text is fragmentary, and some words and names are incomplete or uncertain, as indicated by brackets and question marks.
