"To the praepositus of the fortresses of the law of Oxyrhynchus, concerning the freed ones, of the one who was deemed worthy, from my waters, he has decreed according to the command, my machine, my burden, many, of the one who was commanded, his equal, not my land, the tax-collecting one, I have gone to give as it was before."

To the praepositus (commander/officer) of the fortresses
of the Oxyrhynchite nome,
having been released (or dismissed),
having been deemed worthy of something,
those from my water-sources (or irrigation channels)
he broke down at that time
by means of a machine (or device),
my yoke (or balance beam) greatly...
having commanded (or promised) him the equal (portion?),
my land belonging to the treasury (or fiscal land),
I pursued (or followed up),
to give back (or repay), and as...
...of the first...
...athen...
The text is fragmentary and incomplete, making a definitive translation difficult. The document appears to be an administrative or legal text, possibly a petition or complaint regarding damage to irrigation works or agricultural equipment ("yoke") and land issues involving fiscal or treasury property. The exact context remains uncertain due to the fragmentary nature of the papyrus.
