You have measured from the best sample of Gaius, the royal secretary, from the harvest of the year that has passed into the current eighth year of the Lord Caesar Domitian, the harvest for Heracles as of (years) 40, the harvest for Demas as of (years) 30, the harvest for Thonis as of (years) 20, the harvest for Papontis, weakly disposed, through the aforementioned brothers to the four. Paesios, son of Demas, mother of Tsentius of Papontis, from the village of Talaw, whom you also recognize at your own risk, which they requested for which they indicated Epimachus, the local secretary of the district of Apelios, and Pekus, the village secretary of Talaw, to inform them about the same Talaw. The harvest of Potamon, and of Hippocrates, and from the harvest of Apollo, becomes royal land and of other kinds of harvests, which will also be deposited into the land healthily following the deposit of the local secretary and local contractors, and they will also give back the new ones together with the public lands, from which they will also receive the appropriate manuscript. (Year) of the Emperor Caesar Domitian the August German, month of New Augustus."
