"To my master from N. N., from N. N. Since Papnouthis the sitologos of Toka is making excuses, being unwilling to pay the taxes, please be so good as to publish the detailed tax schedule, because of his unwillingness to pay on an unequal basis with another 1400 arouras of the same nome, though the tax rates, each and every one, have been posted in the middle of the village of Keuothis in the presence of our landlord and of the village headmen and of the nomikarioi and of the larger landowners."
