Αἰμίλιο̣ς̣ Σατορνῖλος στρ(ατηγοῖς) Ἑπτὰ νομῶν καὶ Ἀρσινοίτου χωρὶς Αὐάσεως χαίριν. τὴν ἐνβολὴν καὶ σφόδρα ὑφʼ ἡμῶν ἀμελου-μένην ὁρῶ. ἕκαστος γὰρ ὑφʼ ἡμῶν πυρὸν ἐπιστέλλων ἐν τοῖς θησαυροῖς ἔχειν οὐ καταβλέπιν, τὴν δὲ αἰτίαν οὐδεμίαν ἄλλην ἢ τὴν τῶν εἰωθότων παραφέριν τὸν πυρὸν ὀλιγότητα ἶναι. ἡγοῦμαι οὖν, πολλάκις μὲν ἐπέστιλα εἰς τὸ νῦν ἀριθμὸν ἀγαγῖν, ὑμῖς δὲ οὐδέποται πρὸς τὰ ἐμὰ γράμματα ἐπιστραφεται, ἠξιώσαται, ἀλλὰ συνκακουργοῦντες τοῖς ὀνηλάταις εἰς μὲν τὸν ἀριθμὸν αὐτοῦς ἀναλάμβαται, τὴν δὲ λεγομένην τριονίαν ὑπάρχιν οὐκ ἀνανκάσεται, ὅθεν ο̣ὖν μέν̣ι̣ αὐτοὺς μὲν ἀπολάβιν τῶν ἐκ τῆς ὀνηλασίας ὑπαρχόντων δικαίου, τὸ δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν τῷ ταμείῳ μὴ παραγίνεσθαι. ἶπα οὖν τοῦτο, μὴ πλέον αὐτοῖς προχωρῇ ἂν ὕστερον ῥαδίως τῶν τε ἐχόντων τὸν ἐντελῆ ἀριθμὸν καὶ τὴν ἐνδεό[ν]των ὑπάρχῃ, κελεύω ἱνα ἕκαστον τῶν ὀνηλατῶν ἀνανκάζιν τὴν ὀφειλομένην ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ τρέφεσται τριονίαν, ὑμᾶς δὲ σφρα-γιδαν ἐπιβάλλιν ἑκάστῳ ὄνῳ. οὕτως γὰρ οἵ τε ὀνηλάται τρέφιν τὸν ἐντελῆ ἀριθμὸν ἀναν-κασθήσονται καὶ ὑμῖς ἔχοιται τοῦς ὀνηλ[άτ]ας φωραθήσασθαι. ἐρῶσθε ὑμᾶς [εὔχ]αμαι.

Aemilius Saturninus, commander of the Seven Laws and of Arsinoite, apart from the grace of Avasis. I see the neglect of the contribution that is very much under our care. For each of us, sending fire in the treasures, does not look down, and the cause is no other than the usual bringing of the fire to be of little quantity. Therefore, I think, I have often sent to bring the current number, but you never turn back to my letters, nor do you consider it worthy, but collaborating with the tax collectors, you take them up to their number, but the so-called trionia will not be necessary, whence therefore it remains for you to receive the rights from the tax collection, but not to come to the treasury from them. I say this, that they should not proceed any further, if later they easily have the complete number and the needs that exist, I command that each of the tax collectors be compelled to provide the owed trionia from him, and you should impose a seal on each one. For thus the tax collectors will be compelled to provide the complete number, and you will have the tax collectors to be examined. I wish you well.
