Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete, making a precise translation difficult. It appears to be an account or inventory mentioning small books ("βιβλίδια"), payments in drachmas, references to children ("παιδίοις"), a governor ("ἡγεμὼν"), a herald ("κήρυξ"), Hermes ("Ἑρμ"), and possibly travel expenses ("ναύλου"). The exact context remains uncertain due to the fragmentary nature of the papyrus.
