Notes:

Bilabel/Grohmann understand this as two separate texts, a) verso ll. 20-25, and b) verso ll. 48-52. Bilabel/Grohmann do not translate the text.
2. ⲛ̣[ⲟ]ⲩ̣ⲁ̣ϩⲟⲟⲩ The meaning of this word is unclear; neither Sahidic ⲁϩⲟ (“treasury, storehouse”) nor Bohairic ⲁϩⲟ (“dwelling, abode”) would seem to fit the context; cf. the parallel phraseology in l. 18 (KYP T219).
