"To the one who has been sent by the governor Faustus, the third of the Itureans, concerning the grain supply of the village of Persians, greetings. I have received and measured the supplies from you, the letters sent to me by Canopus, the secretary of the royal division of Heracles, concerning the provisions for the troops, including both livestock and horses from those in Thebes, as mentioned in the other records, from the letter of the most illustrious governor Claudius Julianus. The pure barley, unadulterated and unhulled, measured thirty-two and a half artabas, which amounts to twelve artabas of barley. From these, the calculations were made for the hundredth part and the half of a different new measure compared to the old barley artabas. The remaining barley artabas are as follows: [ - ca.11 - ] as it is appropriate.

"(Centurion) sent by [-ca.?-]anus Faustus, prefect of the third cohort of Itureans, to the grain collectors of the village of Perseis, greetings through Sarapion also called Kopres. I have received and measured from you the grain sent to me by Kanopos also called Asklepiades, royal scribe of the Herakleides district, who is succeeding in office, and the grain assigned by the strategia for animal fodder for the cohort, and also for cavalrymen from those listed among others in Thebais, according to the letter of the most illustrious governor Claudius Julianus: pure barley, unadulterated, without impurities, sifted, thirty-two artabas and a half, a third, and a twelfth, total barley artabas 32 ½ ⅓ ¹⁄₁₂. From these, deducted for the one and a half percent (1½%) due to the difference of the new measure compared to the old, barley artabas 3 ⅛ ¹⁄₄₈; remaining barley artabas 32 ⅓ ¹⁄₁₂ ¹⁄₄₈. Measured as stated.
