Fragments of a Latin military register, apparently from Karanis, in which an officer records under headings named after centuries (or similar units) and consular years that he ordered certain men, mostly with Egyptian names, to be taken from particular centurions. The consular dates fall in the mid-2nd century AD.

The records disagree: one describes the papyrus as a Latin grammar treatise and another as a police report, but the edited text is a register of names, centurions and consular years. 'Iusi' (for iussi, 'I ordered') and the adjectival headings such as Proclian and Petronian are of uncertain meaning.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Rapporto di una azione di polizia (?)). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
