In English machine translation

[… lines lost …] Si[…] Kor…[…] Hatres […] Eponychos Th[…] Pachomios the Tentyrite Papnouthis a…[…] Abram the Saracen.

"Saracen" here denotes an Arab of the desert tribes, possibly serving with the local garrison. The description of the names as soldiers comes from the catalogue, not from the surviving text.

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