Small fragment of an official document from Roman Egypt that invokes a 'most divine emperor', possibly of the Severan dynasty, and mentions a nome. It dates to the 3rd century AD and may come from Memphis.

In English machine translation

[recto] […] most […] and most divine emperor […] […] (Seve?)rus Pius […] […] still also the other things […] [… ? lines lost …] [verso] [… ? lines lost …] […] from the nome […] [… 1 line lost …] […] lower (?) […] […] bronze (?) […]

The reading of the emperor's name as Severus (from '-nerou') is uncertain. 'Ethnos' here probably means the administrative district (nome).

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.
