Translation

"Of the management of the year of God, of the year of the Arsinaites, sent from the mother city of the sanctuary, to be sent forth from his lineage, of the laws of the fire (artab), to them who are sent, I have sent a letter. To the most honorable Apollinarius, general of the Arsinaites, greetings. The letter that was sent to us by you is a copy. Apollinarius, general of the Arsinaites, greetings. The letter that was sent to me concerning the signature of the most powerful governor in the name of Satyrus Sōtus and Dioskoros of Mysos and those with them, camel drivers of the city of Soknopaiou of the island of Karani, concerning the debts owed to them, I have submitted to you. Therefore, it is necessary to declare to me and from the political discourse of the camel drivers of Karani and Soknopaiou, drachmas of the city. This is what we have done. I wish you well. (Of the year) of the Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus, Mesore, a copy: to Gaius Aouidios Heliodoros, prefect of Egypt, from Satyrus Sōtus and Dioskoros of Mysos and those with them, camel drivers of Soknopaiou and Karani, of the district of Herakleides of the law of the Arsinaites, of the public funds."
