Translation into English

This document appears to be a record or inscription related to a measurement (possibly of a treasure) from the year of Commodus, under the authority of Antoninus Caesar. It mentions a name associated with the South, possibly referring to a person named Faminio, and includes references to a certain quantity (twelve) of grain. It also notes another name associated with Hercules and a person named Picotus, through Apollodorus, again mentioning the quantity of grain (twelve). The document concludes with a phrase that may indicate a measurement or record-keeping.

Notes:

• This text appears to be an administrative papyrus fragment from Roman Egypt, recording grain (wheat) taxes or payments.
• "Κομμόδου Ἀντωνίνου Καίσαρος" refers to Emperor Commodus Antoninus (reigned AD 177–192).
• "Παῦνι" (Pauni) is an Egyptian month, roughly corresponding to May–June.
• "δωδέκατον" (dodekaton) refers to a "twelfth," likely a tax rate or fraction of produce.
• "ὑπὲρ Νότου" ("on behalf of Notos") probably refers to a district or administrative region.
• The abbreviation "Τ(  ) σ̣(εσ)η̣(μείωμαι)" likely indicates the official's signature or notation.
