Year 2 of Imperator Caesar Lucius Domitius Aurelianus Pius Felix Augustus
and year 5 of Julius Aurelius Septimius Vaballathus Athenodorus, the most illustrious king,
consul, imperator, general of the Romans. […]
The double dating to Aurelian and Vaballathus, son of Zenobia, reflects the brief period of Palmyrene control over Egypt. The date formula is almost entirely restored from parallel texts.
