Commentary

Line 3: there is an ο within the omicron, and a Υ between omicron and sigma, written extremely small: this would appear to be from a patronymic, typical of ephebic inscriptions: see C.61, C.123, C.124, and many examples at Ptolemais: P.2, P.11, P.13, P.14, P.69, P.124, P.133, P.134, P.178, P.182, P.185, P.190, and cf P.200. (compare e.g. P.2, P.134, P.190)

Line 4: For the monogram, see on P.3. Here it must express the relationship between ephebes whose names were written to the left.
