Caesar Augustus, of the god

Translation into English

Nero Claudius, son of Tiberius Caesar and Germanicus Caesar, descendant and by nature of the god Augustus, Germanicus, high priest, of municipal authority, consul, autocrat of the Alexandrians, greetings to the city. Regarding the rivers of Boccus and his sons, I learned much from his letters about which I also preserve under his authority, having decided the lordly command of my judgment, which is sweet to me, and of the younger Potamon when they occurred, it was read publicly in the agora.
