Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete. It references the reign of Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysos (Auletes), who ruled Egypt from 80–51 BCE. The inscription mentions the city of Oxyrhynchos in the Thebaid region of Egypt, and refers to the months Peritios (Macedonian calendar) and Choiak (Egyptian calendar).
