Translation into English

A certain flowering plant of this kind is said to be valuable because it is thought to be beneficial. They have been removed long ago according to the prescribed places of the sheep, as the shepherds say they have been removed from the beekeepers who have made requests in the records. Athenodorus the general commanded that the letter's copy be sent to Claudius Sabinus, to Claudius Dionysius the general. Since a replacement was made concerning me and the herdsmen, it seemed good to me that the shepherds in which they disputed in the places from the month of Germanicus. Therefore, I wish to follow you in my judgment and in the matters of the finances.
