Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete, with several uncertain readings indicated by question marks. The document appears to be an official decree or order from a king (possibly Ptolemaic or Roman period), instructing inhabitants of Alexandria and the surrounding countryside to register themselves and pay certain taxes or fees. The mention of specific months (Dios, Dystros) and the 17th year suggests a dating system based on a regnal year. The name "Andronikos" appears at the end, possibly identifying the official responsible for enforcing this decree.
