Translation into English

It has already been known concerning the supervision of your supervisor who came on the eighth of the month. Since I have remembered all of you for the sake of Christodorus the geometer, you have also deemed it right to demand from him the coin which is usually given to the tax collectors, and also to demand from Mousa the one from the tax collectors the knidia of both honey and fish, since they are needed. Up to today, the common geographer has not written. I expect today letters from his great magnificence, that is, from Choiak on the eleventh. No word was given to Lord Dionysius nor to Lord Phoibammon, the chancellor, and as for the word of John, he is the one expected to come and manage the office of the new duke, who is also the lord and the decree writer. For this one who has now come is his unexamined one. Besides your hearing, Nonnus the scholastic has died, the son of Epiphanios; and he was carried away from the exit of the decree, that is, from the eighth. If anything is written here, I will inform you. And for the sake of God, send me a little fish, whether for a dish or for a frying pan, since I cannot find here. For the fishermen here have sent everything to the commander in Antinoopolis. Mena has asked me to write to you about his commission and to know...

"...it has already been made known concerning the supervision of your having taken charge from the eighth of the month. Since I have mentioned all of you on account of Christodoros the surveyor, you have requested to demand from him the coin which he customarily gives to the village chiefs, and also to demand from Mousēs, one of the headmen, the jars of honey and salted fish, since he needs them. Up to today, the common landholder has not written. But I expect today letters from his magnificence, that is, on the eleventh of Choiak. No account was given to lord Dionysios nor to lord Phoibammon the chancellor, and as the account of John [unclear text]. He is the one expected to come and administer the office of the new duke, who is also the authoritative official. For this one who has now come is his adjutant. Apart from your hearing, Nonnos the scholasticus, son of Epiphanios, has died; and he was carried forth from the exit of the authoritative official, that is, from the eighth. If anything is written here, I will inform you. And for God's sake, send me a little fish, either preserved or fried, since I cannot find any here.
