Description | SB XIV 12210: Tax receipt. After a few lines of an earlier and different text, separated by blank space, follows a receipt for tax payment for the 10th indiction in the name of Hermias son of Sarapion issued on Tybi 20 by a tax collector named Demetrios. On top of the receipt is a chrismon. If the date of the document is correct, it is very early evidence of it. See also, from the same archive of Hermias and Maximos SB XIV 12212, with similar chrismon. Cursive handwriting running along the fibres. Verso: fragment of another receipt belonging to the same archive (SB XIV 12211); text running across the fibres. |
