Fragment of a temple account from Soknopaiou Nesos in the Arsinoite nome, dating to the 1st century AD. It records payments in drachmas connected with the cult of Soknopaios and Isis Nephorses, including a seven-day ceremony, lamp-lighting and oracular consultation, made according to custom.

In English machine translation

[…] […] 10 (?) […] of the same year, and further for the installation (?) of […] Soknopaios for 7 days […] drachmas […] and for lamp-lighting […] and for oracular consultation (?) […] of Isis Nephorses 4 drachmas […] in accordance with custom. Apynchis (?) […] […]

The restoration of κ[αθιδρύσεως] ('installation' of a divine image) is conjectural. Lamp-lighting (lychnokaia) was a regular temple rite for which payments were made.

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