In English machine translation

The London Aphrodito papyri of this volume belong to the early 8th century AD, when the Arab governor Qurra ibn Sharik wrote to the local pagarch; this fragment likely belongs to that correspondence. The phrase about 'twenty years and under' probably refers to ages of persons to be registered.
