Translation into English

"Apollodorus, concerning the future, to the Potirius, so that you may know that if you are struck, the law does not care to be deserted, nor do we fear the unfortunate war. Immediately it will be struck.

And he commanded him to be whipped with whips. They were about to be whipped.

And they were leading the way, but to be rejected and for what reason you remained among these things.

I was working on the currents.

Your statement was about to be given concerning the uneducated; we are not.

Those who were leading the beginning, we hold in the height; for this is for us."

English Translation

"...these things [...]
[...] Apollodotos [...] intending to punish (or behead?) [...]
to Peteirios, so that you may know that if you are beaten, the law will not be abandoned, nor do we fear to fail in war. You will immediately be punished.
And he ordered him to be whipped with lashes. Peteirios was about to be whipped.

[...] indeed [...] and madness, but [...] the governor [...] to put aside and why [...] they gave [...]
But you remained during these months [...] I was working on harbors and did not know your report. I was about to give a report against the uneducated. We are not chiliarchs (commanders of a thousand) [...]

Notes

The papyrus is fragmentary, and many words and phrases are incomplete or uncertain. The translation provided is approximate, based on the readable portions of the Greek text. The context appears to involve legal punishment, military or administrative authority, and possibly forced labor or punishment (crucifixion). The mention of "Peteirios," "Apollodotos," and "Epokes" suggests personal names involved in administrative or judicial actions.
