English Translation

[From the previously written letter] to the strategos of the district, [copied] according to chapters concerning measures differing from those [recorded] by him regarding the shipment and by the royal secretary when he took over the affairs of the strategia, I have submitted a copy to you, so that you may know. Therefore, you will do well to manage these chapters for me and add them to the accounts of this nome, and inform me accordingly. I pray for your good health.

Gaius Calvisius Statianus, prefect of Egypt, to Eudaimon, strategos of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome, my dearest friend, greetings.

So that you may know, my dear friend, I write to you that there should be given for the freight charge for loading onto the ships, from the aforementioned treasury of [100?] artabas, two half-artabas, one artaba, calculated as six artabas. Whatever difference there is compared to what is given by you, you will do well to calculate this and add it to the accounts of this nome, and inform me accordingly. I pray for your good health.
