English Translation

"[Stepha]nos and Herodes,
[inspectors]
of the [sacred] gate of Soene, through Ammonios
[assistant], have registered:
Patsibtis, son of Petorzmethes,
[whose mother is Se]npelaieis, for the poll-tax
of the 9th year, seventeen drachmas and one obol,
[(total) seventeen drachmas, one obol], of the 9th year
of Emperor Caesar
Marcus Aurelius
Antoninus Augustus,
Armenian, Medic,
[greatest Parthian conqueror], Mesore 1(?)"

Notes:

• The text is a fragmentary papyrus document, likely a tax receipt or registration record from Roman Egypt.
• "Mesore" is a month in the Egyptian calendar, roughly corresponding to late July/August.
• "Antoninus Augustus" refers to Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (161–180 AD).
• "Armenian, Medic, greatest Parthian conqueror" are imperial victory titles.
