Translation into English

Having been published from the draft of the document in Memphis, Gaius Avidius Heliodorus, governor of Egypt, says: In the dialogue of many who have complained about the actual matters through liturgy, it seemed necessary to me to inquire whether any of those who have complained are said to be concealed, especially since the injustice is not in giving someone to needs, but in selecting some and making them perfect liturgists, while others are burdened with many needs or together with the same or subsequently and before the rest they happen to be imposed; therefore, from all those who have spoken, some requests to name the names to the decree are to be concealed.

English Translation

Copy of an edict posted in Memphis:
Gaius Avidius Heliodorus, Prefect of Egypt, says:
Since many, in the discussion that took place, have complained about the officials concerning liturgies (public duties),
it seemed necessary to me to inquire of those who complained whether they say that certain persons have been concealed,
since the wrongdoing does not lie in assigning certain persons to duties,
but rather in exempting some completely and making them entirely free from liturgies,
while burdening others with many duties, either simultaneously or successively, and before they have had a chance to rest.
Therefore, from all those who have stated that certain persons have been concealed, I have requested the names by decree...
