Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete, making a fully coherent translation difficult. The document appears to be a legal or administrative text from Roman Egypt, mentioning land allotments, agricultural conditions, grain collectors, and an oath sworn by Emperor Domitian (81–96 CE). The term "νειλοβρόχου" (neilobrochou) refers to land irrigated by the Nile flood. The phrase "στερεοῖς γένεσι" (stereois genesi) suggests stable or firm conditions for cultivation. The mention of "σιτολόγων" (sitologon) indicates grain collectors or officials responsible for grain distribution.
