Notes

This text is a tax receipt from Roman Egypt, specifically mentioning the payment of customs duties (the "one-hundredth and fiftieth" tax) for goods transported through the gate of Soknopaios Island. The commodities listed are oil and wheat, measured in metretai and artabas respectively. The date is given according to the Egyptian month Hathyr, during the reign of Emperor Antoninus (likely Caracalla, early 3rd century CE).
