Notes

The text is fragmentary and uncertain in several places. "Λεία" could be a proper name ("Leia") or possibly "Λείᾳ" ("to Leia"). "Παράσχου" is an imperative meaning "provide" or "give." "Ἰωσηφ̣[ίῳ]" likely refers to a person named Joseph or Josephius. "σίτου" means "grain" or "wheat," and "καθαροῦ" means "pure" or "clean." "ἀρτάβας" (artabas) is a known ancient measure of grain. "Ἰακύβιος" (Iakubios) appears to be another proper name, possibly Jacobius or Jacobios. The apparatus criticus indicates textual uncertainties and alternative readings.
