Fragment of a document, probably a petition or declaration addressed to a man named Claudius, mentioning a district division (meris), a procurator, property, soldiers and a man called Heraiskos. Only the beginnings of lines survive.

In English machine translation

To Claudius […] from […] of the division (meris) […] […] procurator (?) […] has a property (?) […] […] of the soldiers […] of Heraiskos […] […] [… 2 lines lost …]

The opening 'To Claudius ... from ...' suggests a petition or official submission, but too little survives to be sure. A meris was an administrative division of a nome, especially in the Arsinoite.

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.
