Fragment of a decree (?) mentioning a prison TM 28744unbekanntII

Two small fragments of a Greek papyrus from the 2nd century AD, possibly from an official decree. Only isolated words survive, mentioning ruin, those who prevail, and a prison.

In English machine translation

[Fragment 1] […] … [of] himself (?) […] […] … […] [Fragment 2] ruin (?) and […] of those who prevail (?) […] and of those who […] together […] prison […] but if from […] […] … […] […] … […] … […]

The identification as a decree is tentative; the surviving words (ruin, the more powerful, prison) suggest legal or administrative content.

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