Those from the year and the year of the thirteenth, let no one henceforth be called to the first fruits.

English Translation

By the authority
of Memmius(?)
Rufus, the most distinguished catholicus (general official)
of the province of Egypt
and Libya.
Those who from the
2nd and 1st year
have served as decaprotoi (local officials), let no one
henceforth appoint them again
to the office of decaprotes.
For it is necessary
that they be exempted henceforth,
lest, having fulfilled (their duties),
they again be assigned
to the liturgies (public services)
of the decaprotes. Whoever,
however, has undertaken the office
of decaprotes a second time,
again [shall be subject to the decaprotes office ... (text incomplete)].
