Opening lines of a document dated by the regnal year of the emperor Philip the Arab and his son Philip Caesar, written at Hermopolis. Only the dating formula and place survive, so the nature of the document is unknown.

In English machine translation

Year 2 of Imperator Caesar [Marcus Julius Philippus Pius Felix Augustus and Marcus] Julius Philippus, most noble [and most illustrious Caesar, Augusti, month …] […] [at] Hermopolis the great, ancient and [illustrious] […]

The opening year-and-place formula is typical of contracts, but nothing of the body survives.

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.
