"They have not given nor will they give now."

English Translation

Copy of copies.
Copy of the memorandum of Claudius Androtimus.
(Year) [ - - - ] of Emperor Caesar Domitian Augustus Germanicus, Pharmouthi 1.
Theon and Heracleides, collectors of the general tax, against Horus and Apynchis [ - - - ]
from the village of Soknopaiou Nesos in the Arsinoite nome. Those around Theon and Heracleides, speaking through Apollonius the rhetor, demanded payment of the tax according to the established rule, partly on goods purchased in the metropolis, partly on those in the nome, but only those from Soknopaiou Nesos were seeking exemption, unwilling to pay according to the rule for what they had purchased, although all others in the nome were required to pay the taxes due to the nome administration. And those around Apynchis, speaking through the rhetor Hermaios, claimed that the village had been dedicated to the god and that Spotous, father of Theon the tax collector, had not paid any tax on what he had purchased in the village. They added that even Hermeias the strategos, upon hearing the matter, declared thus to the rhetor Hermaios: "They have not paid, nor will they now pay..." [ - - - ] of Hermeias the strategos [ - - - ] of Domitian Caesar the lord, Claudius Androtimus.
