Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete, making a fully coherent translation difficult. The document appears to be a legal or administrative text, possibly a complaint or petition involving financial transactions, debts, imprisonment, and official registrations. The mention of "agoranomos" indicates involvement of market officials, and references to soldiers and imprisonment suggest a legal dispute or accusation.
