English Translation

Due to the fragmentary nature of the text, a complete translation is difficult. However, the identifiable Greek terms and phrases can be translated approximately as follows:

• ὁμοίως (homoíōs): "likewise," "similarly," or "in the same manner."
• βουλῆς (boulēs): "of the council."
• κελεύσει (keleúsei): "by order," "by command."
• ὑπηρέτῃ (hypērétē): "to the attendant," "to the servant."
• φύλακι (phýlaki): "to the guard."
• πράκτορσι (práktorsi): "to the collectors," "to the agents."
• σαλπιγκτῇ (salpinktē): "to the trumpeter."
• Στατιανῷ (Statianō): "to Statianus" (a proper name).
• φύλαξι (phýlaxi): "to the guards."
• πρυτάν(εις?) (prytán(eis?)): "prytaneis," referring to executive officials or magistrates.

The text appears to be a fragmentary administrative or official document, possibly listing payments, distributions, or instructions given to various officials or functionaries, each followed by the notation "ὁμοίως" ("likewise") and numerical or alphabetical markers (α´, β´, γ´, δ´), likely indicating quantities, ranks, or repetitions.

Notes on Apparatus

The apparatus notes a textual variant or correction: "σαλπιγ’κτη" (salpingktē) is the reading found in the papyrus, indicating a variant spelling or scribal form of "σαλπιγκτῇ" (salpinktē), meaning "to the trumpeter."
