A small fragment, probably of a contract, from Soknopaiou Nesos in the Arsinoite nome, dated by the reign of the emperor Nero. Only scattered words survive, including an acknowledgement of having received something, the number ninety, a reference to a meris (administrative division) and a fifth (year?).

In English machine translation

[1] […] Nero Claudius [… 7 lines lost …] […] to have received […]noukopes(?) […] […] ninety […] concerning […] division (meris) […] fifth [… 1 line lost …] […] Imperator [… 4 lines lost …] […] all [… 1 line lost …] [… 4 lines lost …]

The identification as a contract is tentative; the phrase 'to have received' suggests a receipt or loan acknowledgement. The 'fifth' may refer to the fifth regnal year of Nero (AD 58/59).

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Fragment eines Vertrages (?)). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
