Amiralmoumnin transliterates the Arabic title Amir al-Mu'minin, 'Commander of the Faithful', i.e. the Umayyad caliph. The abbreviation read as phakialia (kerchiefs or head-cloths) is uncertain, as is the end of the third line.

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.
