Opening of a document dated by the joint reign of Septimius Severus, Caracalla and Geta Caesar, with a reference to the eponymous priests in Alexandria. Only the dating formula survives; it comes from the Herakleopolite nome, AD 198-211.

In English machine translation

Year […] of Imperator Caesar Lucius Septimius Severus Pius Pertinax Adiabenicus Parthicus Maximus and Marcus Antoninus, Augusti, and Publius Septimius Geta Caesar, […] under the priests who are in Alexandria […] [… lost …]

A dating clause naming the Alexandrian priests is typical of notarial contracts, so the document was probably a contract, but its actual content is lost.

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.
