Translation

To Flavius, to Domitius Asclepiades, the most illustrious governor, greetings from Aurelius Psaitos Peteminios from the village of Kelleos of the Mothite district. Both the claimants and the critics submit ten from the same village so that this claim may be entrusted to them and through them may be fulfilled.
I, being cautious, do not wish to be found accused of anything foreign to this matter. It is evident to all that this is the case, and I do not seem to be responsible or liable publicly, proposing that the claim be made known to those who have been informed.
The overall matter is under the authority of our lords, Constantine Augustus and Claudius Julianus Caesar the second.

English Translation

To Flavius Domitius Asklepiades, the most illustrious comes, Flavius [Alio?], governor, from Aurelius [Ps]aitos Petem[inios], from the village of Kelleis in the Mothite nome, greetings. The collectors and assessors of the commercial gold and silver tax have nominated ten men from the same village, so that the collection might be entrusted to them and carried out through them [...]. But I, taking precautions lest at some point [...] they might accuse me and I be found charged, being entirely unrelated to this matter, have made it publicly clear to everyone that I am innocent and not responsible, and I publicly declare this, securing myself and [...] that [...] the collection [...] might occur [...] I have communicated with [...] concerning these matters [...]. In general terms. In the consulship of our lords Constantius Augustus for the ninth time and Claudius Julianus Caesar for the second time.
