In English machine translation
Apollonios also called Didymos, son of Apol(…), appointed to the record office of the Western toparchy of the Oxyrhynchite nome:
I have deposited the above roll of glued-together documents (synkollesimon) of the transactions completed by me in the month of Mesore of the current year, for 21 days, and the same in the register (eiromenon) and the summary list (anagraphe); for in the same month during 9 days nothing was completed.
Year 17 of the Emperors Caesars Lucius Septimius Severus Pius Pertinax Arabicus Adiabenicus Parthicus Maximus and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Pius, Augusti, ⟦and Publius Septimius Geta Caesar Augustus⟧, Thoth 4.
A synkollesimon was a roll formed by gluing together the contracts registered at a record office; the eiromenon and anagraphe were its accompanying register and abstract list. Geta's name was later erased, reflecting his damnatio memoriae after 211.
