Give to Dorotheos the steward of the estate of Dioskoros, from the account of the honor of the wool, one gold coin, and the grace of the silver, which I sent to my sister Apia, and she has given it to him, one of gold and one and a half in silver. Therefore, do not neglect, brother; provide him with the coin. Aurelios Ales and another Ales Kephalatos agree with us on all that is written as it stands.
