Small fragment of a Greek document from Panopolis mentioning a mother, a daughter and probably a dowry, dated by the reign of the emperor Macrinus (AD 217-218). Only scattered words survive, so its exact nature is uncertain, though the dowry reference may point to a family or marriage-related agreement.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] […] […] […] […] mother […] […] of the daughter, dowry (?) […] […] and whenever […] […] ⟦of Macrinus⟧ Pius Felix Augustus […] […] adjoining (?) […] […] […]

The name of Macrinus was struck through by the scribe, reflecting the erasure of his memory after his fall in 218. The phrase 'ek plagiou' can mean 'adjoining' or 'on the side' and its sense here is unclear.

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