Because of which, the emmelia (*) of my lord, the steward of the Seven Nomoi, Aurelius Gregorius, commanded that the wine of Thivaida, which had been poisoned, be sent in the old or of the value of each vessel from (denarii) to be responded to this by the opinnators (*) having been stirred up (*) and also from the council of the steward.

Aurelius Apollonius, also called Eudaimon, strategos of Oxyrhynchus, through Plou[....] the deputy, to Aurelius Heras, praepositus of the pagus, my most beloved, greetings. Through the letter written by the office (ἐμμέλεια) of my lord Aurelius Gregorius, procurator of the Heptanomia, he has ordered that half of the adulterated wine from the Thebaid in the fifth indiction be sent in old (wine), or at the price of sixteen denarii per xestes, after the wine-tasters and the appointed overseer from the council have agreed to this. Therefore, upon receiving this letter, take care to deliver the required quantity of wine-measure to the overseer of the pagus under your charge, so that no hindrance may arise concerning the military provisions.
(hand 2) I pray for your good health, most beloved.
