Translation

[Of the written letter] to the general of the division regarding the matters concerning the [embarkation and at the royal secretary] when it was distributed the matters concerning the generalship I have sent to you, that you may know. Therefore, you will do well to manage these matters and add them to the matters from the handling of this law, informing me.
I wish you well.

Gaius Caluisius Statianus, prefect of Egypt, to the most beloved [Arsinoitus] Heracleides of the division, greetings.
[If it is not burdensome to you, I write to you to give] concerning the tax of the embarkation into the ships upon the treasury of the [half-artab].
[As much as it differs from what is given to you well, you will do this having calculated and adding it to the matters from the handling of this law, informing me.]
I wish you well.
(Year) of Aurelius Antoninus Caesar, the lord.
[Until now, the written matters.]
