Notes

"Σοκνοπαίου Νήσου" (Soknopaiou Nesos) refers to a location in ancient Egypt, known from papyrological sources.
"Φαῶφι" (Phaophi) is the second month of the ancient Egyptian calendar, roughly corresponding to late September or October.
"πλείνθου" (brick) is corrected in the apparatus criticus to "πλίνθου," the standard spelling.
"δρα(χμὰς)" and "(γίγνονται)" are abbreviations commonly found in papyri, expanded here for clarity.
