Notes:

The text is fragmentary and incomplete. It appears to reference a date by the reign of the Roman Emperor Publius Licinius Gallienus (ruled AD 253–268), including his imperial titles. The month mentioned is uncertain, possibly Phaophi, Phamenoth, or Pharmouthi, all months from the Egyptian calendar.
