Notes on the Text

The abbreviation "με( )" is likely short for "μετρηταὶ" (metretai), meaning "measures" or "containers," a common unit of measurement in ancient Greek texts. The letters following each entry (ε, β, δ, ιγ) represent Greek numerals: ε = 5, β = 2, δ = 4, ιγ = 13. The phrase "πρὸ εἰδῶν Δεκενβ(ρίων)" (corrected to "Δεκεμβ(ρίων)") translates as "before the Ides of December."
