Notes on the Translation

The text is fragmentary and incomplete, thus the translation includes conjectural restorations indicated by brackets. The document appears to be an official communication or report, possibly administrative or financial, referencing the reign of Emperor Marcus Julius Philippus (Philip the Arab, ruled AD 244–249). The mention of a river rising ("τελείας ἀναβάσεως τοῦ ποταμοῦ") suggests a report related to flooding or irrigation matters. The exact context remains uncertain due to the fragmentary nature of the papyrus.
