Catalogue no. 41; Nelson collection no. N301. Paches, son of Parates is Muhs' Taxpayer
28. 1/4 silver (kite) 3/4 obols is 3 3/4 obols. Very little of the tax name at the
end of line 1 is preserved before the break. "Wool tax" (hedj inshen) fits the rate,
but not the male taxpayer or the traces. However, "income of a man who serves" (aq
rmt iw=f shms) fits both the rate and the male taxpayer and it may be possible to
read "income" (aq) before the break. Muhs could not suggest a plausible reading for
the beginning of line 2. It may be the name of a second tax since the following year
date probably indicates the period for which the tax(es) were paid.
