To Gaius Tyrranius,
From Teseus and Herieus, the leaders, and the other priests of Soknopaios, the great god of the great temple located in the village of Soknopaiou Nesos in the Herakleides district of the Arsinoite nome: concerning the annual public expenses recorded for the temple and other expenditures made for decorations, and the monthly celebrations held in honor of the divine Caesar, including incense offerings, lamp burnings, and other related expenses, which also fall upon us... for all the festivals and celebrations, because the village... is convenient for us to remain, but the shore from which water is drawn is distant... a schoenus, and at certain times water is brought into the village... from a distance of four schoeni. During the summer each year, when everyone from our village departs to seek livelihood elsewhere, it is necessary for us, the priests, to remain in the village to guard... the temple and the celebrations and other matters, without any other support... for us except the contributions and assistance provided by those who are present at the celebrations... and borrowing... to renew the customary practices from above... Therefore, we beseech you, the savior and protector of all...
