Koine Greek Text

(ἔτους) λε Παχὼ̣[νς κ . ἔχει Δῶρος] παρὰ Σ̣μή̣[θιος(?) ἁλικῆς] τοῦ λε (ἔτους) [(δραχμὴν) α]

English Translation

(Year) 35, Pachon [20(?). Doros has] from Sme[thios(?)] for salt-tax of the 35th (year) [1 drachma].
For salt-tax, 1 drachma.

Notes

The text appears to be a fragmentary Greek papyrus receipt or tax record, mentioning a payment related to salt ("ἁλικῆς" = "of salt" or "salt-tax"). The abbreviation "(ἔτους)" means "year," and "λε" (lambda epsilon) represents the numeral 35. "Παχὼν" (Pachon) is an Egyptian month. "Δῶρος" (Doros) and "Σμήθιος" (Smethios?) are personal names. The text records a payment of one drachma ("δραχμὴ") for salt-tax.
