Fragment of an official document from Aurelius Achilleus, royal scribe of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome, introducing a copy of a register of revenues belonging to the Idios Logos (the special account) for year 6 of Gordian III. It explains that the register was compiled from the previous year's register and later additions.
The Idios Logos was a Roman financial department handling irregular revenues such as confiscated and ownerless property. The word rendered 'register' (homologon) denotes an agreed or reconciled account; much of the text's syntax depends on restorations.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Official Letter from a Royal Scribe). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
