Notes on Translation

The text is fragmentary and incomplete, making the translation tentative. The document appears to be a record or account listing provisions (specifically wheat) allocated to certain individuals aboard a ship, including possibly royal or official persons ("daughter of the king") and medical personnel ("physician"). The term "τὸ καθῆκον μέτρημα" ("the appropriate measure") suggests a standardized ration or allocation of grain.
