Notes

Fragment a recto, line 1: Barns and Zilliacus suggest ο]νομα, which is what the translation assumes.
Fragment a recto, line 3: Barns and Zilliacus suggest ο μεν at the end of the line, which is what the translation assumes.
Fragment a recto, line 5: Note that κεναισε could possibly be some perfect active infinitive verb (ending in κεναι) followed by σε. Barns and Zilliacus note the letter after σε could be δ or λ.
Fragment a recto, line 9: Barns and Zilliacus label the line as ‘9a’ and use a smaller font, indicating the text is smaller (or perhaps supralinear?)
Fragment b recto, line 3: Barns and Zilliacus label the line as ‘10a’ and use a smaller font, indicating the text is smaller (or perhaps supralinear?)
Fragment b recto, line 4: Barns and Zilliacus label the line as ‘10b’ and use a smaller font, indicating the text is smaller (or perhaps supralinear?)
