Notes on Translation and Interpretation

This document appears to be a brief administrative request or order, addressed respectfully ("most noble lady"), instructing the provision of a specific quantity of meat (eleven and a half pounds) for estate-related service. The text includes a date reference using the Egyptian month "Phaophi" and mentions the indiction cycle, a common dating method in late antiquity. The final line indicates the recipient or responsible party as "Kanou, the cook" (μάγειρος).
