Commentary

Line 1: Year 10; if M is correctly read in 1.4, this must be 10 of the Actian era = 22/21 BCE

Line 4: If correctly read, 40 of the Actian era = CE 10, Pharmouthi (?)(March/April); but possibly the opening letters represent the age of the preceding entry - (ἐτῶν) μ' = aged 40. and the rest of this line is misread.
