The date records disagree: HGV gives the second half of the 3rd century, while the object description says 2nd century AD. A komarch was the official in charge of a village, an office typical of the later 3rd century onward.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Petition (?)). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
