English Translation

[In the year] of Emperor Caesar Augustus [...]
The officials who examined the petitions, after the petition of Gaius Julius L...us was read,
and after the indicated cancellation was brought forward through him, and after the mentioned dispatch
of Heron son of Dionysios, the undersigned,
[I have been instructed regarding the completion of the official procedure.]
We have agreed that a copy of the petition should be written and sent to the strategos of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome and to the xenikon praktor (foreign affairs official) of the same nome, so that if Gaius Julius L...os is present and consents to these things and provides the appropriate written declaration that the matters stated in the petition are true, and that nothing contrary has been arranged nor does he have any objection to the proceedings, and that the debt remains undisputed, then at that time a copy of these documents should be delivered to the debtor in person, so that he may know [...] and object within ten days thereafter, so that they may complete the proceedings in the manner appropriate to those who have been instructed.

[I wish] to initiate the procedure and request that, upon examination, it be agreed
that a letter be written to the strategos of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome and to the xenikon praktor of the nome,
to assist me in completing the procedure
[regarding] the interest owed by the debtor,
for the seizure of security upon the properties existing in the places, irrevocably,
according to the instructions given, without diminishing my rights according to the securities I hold for principal and interest.
