To Aurelius Baibios, governor of Egypt, from Stotoetes, son of Satyrus, of the land of the Arsinoites.
As you continue to govern, O lord, you preside over the common and each individual matter as from your most wonderful administration, that the entire province may be filled with good things, especially as you preserve those who cultivate the public land of our eternal lord, the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus, from all evil that has been cut off by you.
For your kindness encourages the wronged to approach you without fear. And indeed, those who have suffered violence from certain individuals in the past and those from the good legislation of this land will neither be wronged by the current rulers nor will they have a harsher judgment from those who have suffered violence, O lord, as it is according to divine law.

To Aurelius Baebius Iuncinus, Prefect of Egypt,
from Stotoetes, son of Satyros, grandson of Stotoetes, farmer of the city of the Arsinoite nome.
You, governor and master, continually administer everything, both public and private affairs, through your most admirable wisdom, so that the entire province is filled with good things, especially as you protect those who cultivate the public land of our eternal and invincible lord, Emperor Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus, and as you have eradicated every evil. Indeed, your benevolence encourages those who have been wronged to approach you without fear. For even those who previously suffered greatly from the violence of certain individuals, and those who have benefited from this excellent and impartial legislation, will neither be oppressed by the current authorities nor will those authorities dare to act more boldly, lest they suffer violence themselves. Having suffered no ordinary violence myself, governor and lord, I [...]
