Notes:

• The text is fragmentary and incomplete, thus the translation is partial and reconstructed from context.
• "ἀρούρας" (arouras) refers to a measure of land used in ancient Egypt.
• "θρύου καλάμου ἀγρώστεως δείσης πάσης" refers to various types of weeds and unwanted vegetation.
• "οὐλὴ ἀντικνημίῳ δεξιῷ" indicates a scar on the right shin, possibly a physical description for identification purposes.
• The mention of Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus (Antoninus Pius, ruled 138–161 CE) helps date the document to the mid-2nd century CE.
