Fragment of the opening of a Greek document, probably a contract or similar legal instrument, dated by an emperor styled Pius Felix Augustus. It names Aurelia Apollonia, a man Hieronymos also called Askl[…], someone aged about 27 from Herakleopolis, and a mother Thaesis. It comes from the Herakleopolite nome, probably 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] Pius Felix [Augustus] […] registered (?) in common, month […] […] of the […] above Memphis […] aged about 27 years […] from Herakleopolis […] of Aurelia Apollonia […] Hieronymos also called Askl[…] […] mother Thaesis […] [… lines lost …]

The type of document is uncertain; the dating formula, personal descriptions with age and the phrase about things written in common suggest a contract. The reference to a place 'above Memphis' is only partly preserved.

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.
