Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete, making a full and precise translation difficult. The document appears to be a legal or financial text, mentioning land measures ("arouras"), monetary amounts ("silver drachmas"), a mortgage ("hypotheke"), and possibly a request for an extension of time. The mention of Commodus Antoninus suggests a date around the late 2nd century CE. The reference to a scar on the left arm ("οὐλὴ ἐπὶ βραχίονι ἀριστερῷ") may indicate a physical description used for identification purposes.
