English Translation

In the reign of Nero, Pauni 6 (or 9?).
Pauni 6.
The priests of Soknopaios now say
that they are hindered [ -ca.?- ] by certain tax collectors
from their customary practice, contrary to custom,
[ -ca.?- ] concerning the purity rites
[ -ca.?- ] for those things naturally growing
[ -ca.?- ] something of the [ -ca.?- ] on the island.

Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete. The priests of Soknopaios complain about interference by tax collectors, who are preventing them from performing certain customary religious rites related to purity and possibly involving naturally occurring products on an island. The exact details remain unclear due to the fragmentary nature of the papyrus.
