Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete, with several lacunae indicated by "[---]". The document appears to be a formal request or petition regarding the rebuilding (ἀνοικοδομή) of a gateway (προπύλαιον), possibly related to a sacred or religious site ("holy place"). The second hand provides a dating formula referencing the reign of the Roman Emperor Probus Augustus (276–282 CE), specifically mentioning the month Hathyr, indicating an Egyptian context.
