Notes

This fragmentary Greek inscription dates from the Ptolemaic period in Egypt. It references the ruling monarchs (Ptolemy and Cleopatra), various divine titles associated with the royal family, and priestly offices. The text also includes a legal acknowledgment involving Jewish individuals residing in the Arsinoite nome (region), specifically in the city of Philadelphia. Due to the fragmentary nature of the papyrus, some details remain uncertain or incomplete.
