| Notes: | l.11-12: ⲥⲕⲟⲩⲧⲉⲗⲗⲉ: Green (i, 39) understands as σκυτάλη. More probably σκουτέλλιον (“(flat) dish”, from Latin scutella), which appears as ⲥⲕⲟⲩⲇⲉⲗ in P.Bal. 322.3 (Förster 739); the word appears in several documentary Greek papyri (CPR 8.66 l.16, SB 20 14213 l.5, SB 22 15284 l.7, Stud. Pal. 20 151 ll.4, 9, 15). |
