Translation

To Dioscurides, the commander of the guard, from Ammonius the Nicene, of the soldiers assigned to you. Since you have been appointed more than once to Ptolemaios the servant, to present to me the duties monthly from the full amount, and since he does not endure this, but only I have received it in the year of the purchase and the grain of bronze, I request, if it seems appropriate, to call him and compel him to pay me the amount owed and to arrange to return to me from the full amount as is customary. When this has happened, I will be in possession of the kindness from you.

English Translation

To Dioskourides, the commander of the garrison,
from Ammonios son of Nikias,
one of the soldiers placed under your command.
Since you have repeatedly instructed
Ptolemaios, the assistant,
to pay me my monthly allowances
in full, but he has not complied,
and I alone have received
in the 27th year only the allowance for provisions and grain in bronze [coins],
I request, if it seems appropriate,
that you summon him and compel him
to pay me what he owes,
and henceforth order him to pay me
regularly in full, as is customary.
If this is done, I shall have received
your kindness.
