To Aurelius, Brother,
To the gymnasiarchs and councilors of the great and most splendid city of Hermes,
Aurelius Harpocrates has presented himself without remuneration.
He has submitted through letters the legal matters concerning the appointed overseer.
He requests the return of the values to his sons, and to establish these matters.
It is necessary that the fate of those who are to come is determined.
Some crafty person is seizing the produce of the earth, from where he has been commanded to appoint an overseer for the values.
He demands accountability for what he has seized from the sons.
May you succeed in all your affairs, and may the authority of our lords, Lucinius the Augustus, be with you.
It has been established for the children as a reminder.
May you be successful in the upcoming authority of Pharoah.
