Fragment of an official record from Bubastos, 221 AD, in which the strategos attended processions and sacrificed at the imperial temples and other sanctuaries while customary acclamations were made for the emperor and the imperial house. It belongs to the dossier of the dioiketes Septimius Arrianus and the strategos Aurelius Heraclides.

In English machine translation

[… lines lost …] […] […] […] the strategos, having attended [the processions, sacrificed at the Sebasteion] [and the Hadrianeion and] the other temples and sacred precincts, [the customary proclamations] [and acclamations] having been made for our lord [Imperator Caesar] [Marcus Aureli]us Antoninus Parthicus M[aximus Britannicus Maximus Germanicus Maximus], Fortunate, Pious, Augustus, and J[ulia Domna Augusta, mother] [of the invincible camp]s, and their entire [house] […] […] praetorium (?) […] […] […] [… lines lost …]

The imperial titulature (Antoninus with Parthicus, Britannicus, Germanicus and Julia Domna) is largely restored; in 221 the reigning emperor was Elagabalus, so the restored names may reflect an older formula or need revision. The dossier records give varying dates and places (Bubastos or Alexandria) for different parts of the roll.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Schreiben des Dioiketen Septimius Arrianus an den Strategen Aurelius Heraclides: Begleitschreiben des Dioiketen mit Kaufantrag; Begleitschreiben des Dioiketen (Fortsetzung?)). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
