Notes

The text is a financial record or receipt from Roman Egypt, mentioning a payment made by Rouphonius, son of Antigonus, on behalf of Zmethis for geometry (possibly a geometry tax or fee). The "phoenix" tax mentioned was a known Roman-era tax in Egypt. The date is given as the 20th of Pharmouthi (an Egyptian month), in the 5th year of Emperor Nero Caesar's reign.
