"I request that you, along with us, present to the same lord of mine, the most magnificent man, that the lord's estate not be completely desolate. For I have instructed the most honorable Eudoxios, who remains in the same Gessia, to prepare and provide the necessary documents to the officials regarding the lord's house, to ensure its safety and the same estate. For these cannot be sent to you already while my lord, the most magnificent man, is present. I am also concerned about the justice of this estate, so that it may be found and recovered by my lord, the most magnificent ruler, and not by the previously mentioned most magnificent man. For only those from the same estate, as I have said, are wronged, in every matter. I also request that you command the public notary to be sent to inspect those who have been struck down, as they are in a state of collapse."

"...of the same lordly estate... and to accomplish equal measures... so that we also request you to join us in bringing (this matter) to my same lord, the most magnificent man, so that the lordly estate may not be completely deserted. For I have instructed the most honorable Eudoxios, who remains in the same Gessiad, that upon your virtue's arrival he should prepare documents (libelli) and provide them to the riparian inhabitants, ensuring the security of the lordly household and the estate itself. For these things cannot now be sent by you, since my lord, the most magnificent man, who has also received the books of the lordly estates, is currently in place. In order that this estate may obtain justice... and also be found for recovery... of my lord, the most magnificent governor, nor indeed from the aforementioned most magnificent man. For only those from the same estate, as I previously stated, are being wronged... by me in each matter. I request and urge you also to order the public notary (tabularius) to be sent to inspect those who have been beaten, since they are confined to bed in every respect."
