Fragmentary opening of a document, probably a contract, from the Herakleopolite nome in the first half of the 3rd century AD. Only the dating formula survives: a regnal year of an emperor, the eponymous priests in Alexandria, a day of a month, and a mention of overseers (epiteretai) through whom something was done.
In English machine translation
[In the year] […] of Imperator [Caesar] […]
[…] [in the time of the] priests in office [in Alexandria] […]
[in the month] […] on the ninth, through the overseers (?) […]
[…]
The dating by eponymous priests of Alexandria is typical of notarial contracts, so the genre is inferred. The restoration of epiteretai (overseers, often of a record office or tax) is uncertain.
