Notes on Translation

The text appears fragmentary and incomplete. "Σοκνοπαίου" (Soknopaios) refers to a deity worshipped in the Fayum region of Egypt, particularly at Soknopaiou Nesos ("Island of Soknopaios"). The term "ἐρημοφυλακίας" (desert-guarding) likely refers to a duty or office related to guarding or overseeing desert areas.
