Notes

- The text is fragmentary and contains lacunae (missing sections indicated by brackets and question marks).
- "νομισμάτια" (nomismatia) refers to small gold coins; "κεράτια" (keratia) are smaller units of currency.
- "Φαῶφι" (Phaophi) is an Egyptian month, roughly corresponding to late September to late October.
- "ἰνδικτιῶνος" (indiction) refers to a 15-year tax cycle used in Byzantine and late Roman administration.
- The alternative reading "[Ἀσή]φ" is suggested as a possible variant for "[Ἰωσή]φ".
