Fragment of a declaration submitted by Paesis son of Horos and fellow priests of the temple of Ammon at the village of Takona in the Oxyrhynchite nome. They register some of their property near the village in obedience to orders of Claudius Diognetus, procurator of the emperors; the declaration may have concerned land left uninundated.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] […] [from] Paesis son of Horos, son of […] […] […] of the priests of the temple of Ammon which is [in the] village of Takona. We register, in accordance with the orders [of] Claudius Diognetus, the most excellent procurator of our lords the Augusti, from the property belonging to us around the same village of Takona […] […] […] […] […]

The identification as a declaration of uninundated land is tentative, since the land details are lost. Claudius Diognetus was the imperial procurator active in Egypt under the joint Augusti around the end of the 2nd century AD, which suggests an approximate date.

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