A fragment of an official record, apparently a series of abstracts noting that copies of letters were sent to strategoi and royal scribes concerning registration and the completion of payments. It mentions an Alexandrian whose name ended in -pion and is dated to a year 12, in the second half of the 2nd century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] of […]pion, Alexandrian, […] […] … poll-taxes (?) […] the copy of the letter was sent […] […] … completion (?) […] to the strategoi and royal scribes […] […] of those … to be registered […] […] the copy of the letter was sent […] […] to the royal scribe, so that he may know, and the private (?) […] […] the registration of the remaining […] […] … […] […] year 12

The word epikephalaia usually refers to poll-tax payments, but in this broken context its sense is uncertain. Katachorismos is the official registration or filing of documents in the archives.

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