"To Akousilaos, greetings from the table. Let the oracle of Heracles be consulted. Not only to those of this lineage, but also to the sisters of Aphrodite and Nikostratus, with the lords, of Aphrodite, the wife of Markion, who is also Diogenes of Heracleides, and of Nikostratus, the relative of Dionysius, a friend. The existing property of the household, of the ten arable lands, or however many there are, if it is concerning Philadelphia, of the portion of Heracleides, according to what has happened, let it be known to me through the writing in Philadelphia, the security of the silver drachmas, two thousand six hundred drachmas, (they are) (drachmas) apart from others. In the year of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, at Pharmouthi."
