Translation into English

Aurelius Eudaimon, who is also Helladios, having become a steward, a director, an interpreter, a
scribe, a councilor of the most illustrious city of the Alexandrians, having served as gymnasiarch,
the chief councilor and president of the illustrious and most illustrious city of the Oxyrhynchites.
The matters of the recovery of the nobility of the most noble soldiers do not even accept a brief
entrustment, and for this reason, and of the letters urging us to this, of the most powerful governor
Aurelius Proteas, and also of the most powerful Ammonius, and of the ships already receiving
the kinds of those approaching, he deemed it necessary to gather a council of overseers,
so that the quickest may be proposed concerning this chief matter of the functions. Therefore,
that all who are willing may be councilors, knowing this today, the 15th,
the letters are publicly presented. I thought it good to inform you through this program
that we are to be gathered together, none other remaining in the present assembly,
to vote on the handlings of the functions.

English Translation

Aurelius Eudaimon, also called Helladios, who has served as eutheniarch, kosmetes, exegete, hypomnematographos (recorder/commentator), councillor of the most illustrious city of the Alexandrians, having served as gymnasiarch, councillor, enarchos, and prytanis of the illustrious and most illustrious city of the Oxyrhynchites.

The matter of the transportation of provisions for the most noble soldiers does not admit even a brief postponement. Therefore, since we have been urgently pressed by letters from the most excellent governor Aurelius Proteas, and also from the most excellent Ammonios, and since the ships already receiving the supplies are ready to sail, it became necessary to convene an extraordinary council for the appointment of supervisors, so that, after discussion of this single matter, the duties might be carried out as swiftly as possible.

Therefore, so that all councillors may willingly be aware of this today, which is the 15th, the letters have been publicly posted. I thought it proper that you should know through this proclamation that we have arranged, with your knowledge, to swiftly assemble according to the orders given, with no other matter pending in the present meeting, and to vote on the appointments of the officials.

[(Year) 2 (?) 15th.]
