Notes on Translation and Terms:

• ἔτους κβ: "Year 22" (κβ = 22).
• Φαμενὼυθ ζ: "Phamenoth 7" (an Egyptian month and day).
• ταφῆς ἰβίων καὶ ἱεράκων: "burial of ibises and hawks."
• ἐπὶ Ἑρμίου πορθώτου: "under Hermias the porter (or gatekeeper)." The term "πορθώτου" (porthōtou) is unusual; possibly a scribal error or a title meaning "porter" or "gatekeeper."
• πουερενπβῆκις (pouerenpbēkis): This term appears uncertain and possibly corrupted. It may represent a transliteration of an Egyptian or Latin term. The exact meaning is unclear from context alone.
• Πελαίου τοῦ στρατηγοῦ: "of Pelaios the general."
• ἐπικαθέσταται ἱερὰ ζῶα: "sacred animals are deposited (or placed)."
• ἀριθμῶν φ, (γίνονται) φ: "number 500 (φ), total 500 (φ)." The Greek numeral φ (phi) represents 500.
