A dating formula from a document, giving the date by the joint regnal years of the Roman emperor Aurelian and the Palmyrene ruler Vaballathus. It corresponds to 21 February 272 and comes from the Arsinoite nome in Egypt.
In English machine translation
Year 2 of our lord Aurelian Augustus
and year 5 of our lord Septimius
Vaballathus Athenodorus, the
most illustrious king, Imperator,
general of the Romans,
Mecheir 26.
The joint dating reflects the period when Palmyra controlled Egypt and Vaballathus, son of Zenobia, was named alongside Aurelian. The titles 'Imperator' and 'general of the Romans' show Palmyrene claims to Roman authority.
