Type of Text/Title of Work: List of names
Content: The papyrus contains a list with five names, and the heading in line 1 suggests that the persons listed might have been living in Kerkesoucha Agora in the Arsinoite nome. The purpose of this list of names, which all (with the possible exception of the indented name in line 6) stand in the accusative and all probably were followed by the father's name, is not longer clear. The piece of papyrus lost at the right might have given the solution.
Persons: Bellen, son of So[,; Turbo, son of The[,; Turbo, son of E[,; Orsenouphis, son of [,; Alexandros
Geographica: Kerkesoucha Agora
Translation: "Kerkesoucha A[gora,; Bellen, son of So[,; Turbo, son of The[,; Turbo, son of E[,; Orsenouphis, son of [,; Alexandros."
