Patrosmethis has paid (or canceled) for the poll-tax of the [ - - - year] of Trajan Caesar:
On account, four drachmas, total 4 drachmas.
Likewise, another four drachmas, total 4 drachmas.
Likewise, four drachmas, total 4 drachmas.
Likewise, one drachma, total 1 drachma.
Thus he himself (paid) the remaining four drachmas together with those which I received through Saxibis.
