bibliography            

For further discussion of such politeumata, see Lüderitz 1994.

On behalf of Emperor Caesar Domitian (erased but discernible) Augustus Germanicus, the place of the corporate body (politeuma) of the great and blessed Harthotes and the great goddess Sachypsis was reconstructed by the patron (prostatēs) Abdon when Petronius Secundus was prefect (eparchos) of Egypt.  Protarchos inscribed this. For good (fortune). Year 12 on the 12th of Pharmouthi.
