Papyrus 1961(a-c), Papyrus 1965(a-d) and Papyrus 1971 are crown-tax receipts of the same format, all written between 198 and 199 CE. They were most likely part of an archive in antiquity. Several tax-payers of this archive may be listed in P.Hamb. IV 274 & 275 (198 CE) sometimes paying the exact same amounts as attested in the tax-receipts.
