English Translation

(To) Socrates, who has served as gymnasiarch, and to Antipatros,
keepers of the archives of property registrations of the Arsinoite nome,
from Petheus, son of Ptolemaios, also called Petheus the elder,
from those of Karanis. In addition to what I have registered through you,
I further register also what I have acquired from Didymos,
also called Diodoros, son of Akousilaos,
also called Sarapion, son of Artemidoros,
from the quarter of Sekneptyneion, half
of half a share, which is a quarter share of an olive grove, inhabited...
[The remainder of the text is fragmentary and unclear.]

Notes:

• The text is fragmentary and incomplete, with several lacunae (missing sections).
• It appears to be a property registration or declaration addressed to local officials responsible for archives.
• Place names mentioned include Arsinoite nome, Karanis, and Sekneptyneion.
• Personal names include Socrates, Antipatros, Petheus, Ptolemaios, Didymos (also called Diodoros), Akousilaos, Sarapion, and Artemidoros.
