Notes on Translation and Interpretation

This text appears to be a customs or tax receipt from Greco-Roman Egypt, specifically mentioning the gate of Soknopaios (a known location in the Fayum region). The terms "ἑκατοστῆς" (one-hundredth) and "πεντηκοστῆς" (fiftieth) refer to customs duties or taxes levied at specific rates. "ἀρτάβας" (artabas) is a measure of volume commonly used in ancient Egypt for grain or seed. The date provided ("Year 2, Thoth 25") follows the Egyptian calendar system.
