Notes

This papyrus fragment appears to be a tax receipt from Roman Egypt, dating to the reign of Emperor Trajan. It records payment of a hunting tax ("κυνηγίδων") from a place called Charax. The date is given according to the Egyptian month Tybi, on the 22nd day. The payer is identified as Heriophmois, son of Senosiris, who paid ten worn or dirty drachmas. The official named Kametis acknowledges receipt by signing or marking the document.
