Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete. The date is given as "Year 36" (λϛ), and the month is Choiak (Χοίαχ), a month in the Egyptian calendar. The letter involves financial matters, specifically mentioning payment ("thirty drachmas") related to agricultural or horticultural work ("digging, cutting, planting").
