(i): Pasion (scil. son) of Aialan

(ii and iii, not usefully translatable)

Commentary

Oliverio identified i with T.156.

It is not clear whether the texts in ii should be read as two ends of a single text, or (as presented here) two separate texts. If the latter, they may represent two ephebic texts.
