The signs written after some names (here rendered 1 1/2) are uncertain in meaning and may be amounts or other marks. Some terms, such as aphanistes and anthelas, have no secure English equivalent, and 'mauros' may be a name or epithet rather than a trade.

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