Translation into English

Of the consulate of Postumios Titianus and of Uirios Nepotianus, in the order of the leader Thebai, following the official of this order, from Aurelius Pasai, the mother of Tsenenetirios from the city of Hibiton.

I swear that I acknowledge the fortunate fate of our lords Diocletian and Maximian, the most illustrious Caesars, and I affirm that the two from the mother of Tbekios are still from the same order.

Accordingly, I request that the fruits be given to me, and I have provided myself as a guarantor, present and consenting, Aurelius Pecusios from the village of Madiophrios of the law of Hibitus.
