Notes on Translation

• "Ζμεντ̣[πῶ" is fragmentary and unclear; possibly a personal or place name.
• "λαογραφ̣[ίας" refers to a census or tax registration.
• "Καίσαρος τοῦ κυρίου" translates as "of Caesar the lord," a common honorific title in Roman imperial contexts.
• "ἐπὶ λόγ(ου)" is abbreviated from "ἐπὶ λόγου," meaning "on account."
• "δραχμὰς η" and "δραχμὰς θ" represent numerical values in Greek numerals: η = 8, θ = 9.
• "τὰς λυπὰς" is corrected in the apparatus criticus to "τὰς λοιπὰς," meaning "the remaining."
• "πράκ(τωρ)" is abbreviated from "πράκτωρ," meaning "collector" or "tax collector."
• "ἔγραψα" means "I have written."
