Notes on the Translation

The text is fragmentary and contains lacunae (missing or illegible sections). The translation provided is approximate, based on the readable portions of the Greek text. The Latin portion is primarily the imperial titulature and date, rendered here in English clearly. The Greek text appears to be a personal letter or communication, including greetings, good wishes, and mention of a gift or transaction involving "artabas" (a measure of grain or similar commodity) in the region of the Thebaid (Upper Egypt). The date corresponds to the reign of Emperor Antoninus Pius (138–161 CE).
