A small fragment of an official document that apparently introduced a copied letter concerning inspections addressed to strategoi of the Arsinoite nome, mentioning individual (man-by-man) records and public matters. It dates to the 3rd century AD and probably comes from the Arsinoite nome (Fayum).

In English machine translation

[recto] […] […] [A copy of the] letter [is appended] […] […] to the strategoi for the inspections […] […] of the Arsinoite (nome) […] […] man by man […] […] each […] […] public […] […]

Most of the wording is restored from small surviving traces; "inspections" (episkepsis) likely refers to official land or crop inspections.

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.
