Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete. The bracketed sections indicate reconstructed or uncertain readings. "μαχαιροφόρων" literally means "sword-bearers" or "armed men." "Μεχεὶρ" (Mecheir) is an Egyptian month name, indicating the document likely originates from Roman Egypt. The date notation "(ἔτους) κ" indicates "year 20."
