Notes on line 17:

Nikios, named at the beginning of this line, is known from another document from Philadelphia; he was the official donkey keeper. The ink splatters at the end of this line may be the result of rolling the papyrus--this makes the line fairly difficult to read. There is also a grammatical change in the text. In the upper copy of the document, the scribe had written ὧν τιμή, while here he writes ἧϲ τιμή.
