English Translation

Notes

This text appears to be a fragmentary dedication or official record from the Ptolemaic period, mentioning royal cult titles ("Savior Gods," "Brother Gods," "Benefactor Gods," "Father-loving Gods") associated with the Ptolemaic dynasty. The reference to Arsinoe Philadelphos as "basket-bearer" (kanephoros) indicates a religious or ceremonial context. The month "Panemos" corresponds roughly to June-July in the ancient Macedonian calendar. The location mentioned, "Oxyrhynchite nome," places this text in Egypt, specifically in the region around Oxyrhynchus.
