The text is a tax receipt or record from Roman Egypt, dating to the reign of Emperor Commodus (Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus). The months mentioned (Tybi and Mecheir) are from the Egyptian calendar. The abbreviations and parentheses indicate expansions of abbreviated words in the original papyrus. The critical note indicates a correction or variant reading ("τέσσαρας" instead of "τέσσαρες").
