A fragment of a document from Oxyrhynchus, apparently a bank transaction connected with the division of property in equal shares, involving Abilla and another person and mentioning a deceased individual and his mother. It is dated to Pauni of the 11th year of an emperor bearing the title Germanicus.

In English machine translation

[...] [...] bank (?) through [...] [...] and Abilla, both [...] [...] of the city of Oxyrhynchus [...] [...] in equal shares [...] [...] five of the mother [...] [...] of the deceased [...] [...] son of Phatres [...] [...] [...] Pauni of the eleventh year [...] [...] Germanicus Imperator [...] [...] silver [...] [...] drachmas [...] [...]

The emperor's name is lost; the title Germanicus fits several first-century emperors (e.g. Claudius, Nero, Domitian). The identification as a bank operation rests on the restoration of the word for 'bank' in the first line.

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