Fragment of a petition (?) TM 31994unbekanntMitte III

A small fragment of a Greek papyrus, possibly a petition, of which only the first letters of each line survive. It mentions the prefect and perhaps the strategos, and dates to the mid-3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] […] and […] of the […] our prefect (?) […] concerning the […] the […] beer (?) […] to the strategos (?) […] from […] these things […] […]

The identification as a petition is tentative and rests mainly on the mention of the prefect ('our prefect'). The readings 'beer' and 'strategos' are guesses from a few surviving letters.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Frammento di petizione (?)). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
