Description

P.Gron. inv. 75, SB 16 13066: List of (tax?) payments 
This fragmentary list (10.5 x 7 cm) is broken off on all sides and contains arouras, the names of their owners (Taleos, Herakleios, Anouphis son of Gounthos, Anina and Euporas) and sums of money, presumably the tax. The reconstruction of line 2 reads [π]ρε(σβύτερ-) (ὑπὲρ) ἰδ(ιωτικῆς) γῆς τῆς ἐκκλησίας (line 2), land privately owned by the church. On the recto there are remains of two lines, possibly the end of a receipt.
