Notes

The text is a Greek papyrus receipt documenting the payment of a tax ("ἴχνος", literally "track-tax") for the exportation of two pack-donkeys through a gate at Soknopaiou Nesos, a location in Roman Egypt. The date provided corresponds to the joint reign of Roman Emperors Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (Marcus Aurelius) and Lucius Verus, placing the document in the mid-2nd century CE.
