Farmaumthi.

Translation into English

To the act of the gymnasiarch, I follow the matters of those who are under my obligation, concerning the Horion, so that they may know and concerning all matters of the obligations of my Septimius Horion, I have necessarily given under signature. Therefore, I have necessarily given these things equal to those of the acquisitions of my obligations. It is necessary to be innovated against the obligations concerning other matters I have regarding Licinius Valerianus and Publius and Publius Licinius Cornelius Aurelius Sarapion, who also gave Dionysotheus.
