Three small fragments of a 4th-century Greek draft, possibly from Alexandria, from the archive of Ammon. Only isolated words survive, including mentions of slaves and something prepared for someone; the nature of the document cannot be determined.

In English machine translation

[Fragment A] [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] [...]... [...] [...] and he himself [...] [...] [Fragment B] [...] [...] [...] [...] with himself (?) [...] [...] he himself [...] [...] [...] of the slaves [...] [...] [...] and later [...] [...] two [...] [...] [Fragment C] [...] [...] [...] [...] for him prepared (?) [...] [...] [...] ⟦[...] having [...]⟧ [...] [...] and [...] [...] there (?) [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] most august (?) [...] [...] to have (?) [...]

The text is described as a draft, and contains a deletion by the writer. The word 'most august' may point to an address to an official or to a petition, but this is uncertain.

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