In English machine translation
The record office (bibliotheke enkteseon) kept registers of property and contracts; such lists of registered agreements were filed by notarial or bank officials. Each line is cut off at the right, so the terms of most entries are incomplete.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Registro di contratti diagrafarii). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
