Notes on Translation

• νωιτῶν: Likely an abbreviation or fragment of "Ἀρσινοϊτῶν" ("of the Arsinoite nome").
• χρυ(σίου) νο(μίσματα): Abbreviations for "gold coins."
• ε γ´: Greek numerals, epsilon (5) and gamma (3), possibly indicating "8" or "5 and 3" coins. Context unclear; tentatively translated as "5 coins."
• μινὶ: Likely a scribal error for "μηνὶ" ("in the month").
• Ἐπιφι: Likely a scribal error for "Ἐπειφ" (Epeiph), an Egyptian month.
• ειωχίρω: Likely a scribal error for "ἰδιοχείρῳ" ("by my own hand").
