A small fragment of a Greek account written across the fibres of a papyrus, from the middle of the 3rd century BC. It mentions the month Epeiph, a remainder assigned to the temples, a deduction, and Karanis and (possibly) the god Soknopaios.

In English machine translation

[c] […] […] … […] … […] […] into (?) Epeiph […] […] … remainder to the temples […] […] on the remainder, deducted (?) […] […] of Karanis, of Soknopaios (?) […] […] … […]

Soknopaios may be the crocodile god or a personal name; the context is too damaged to tell. The term rendered 'deducted' (hypolog-) refers to amounts written off or set aside in accounts.

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