Year 32 of Lucius Aelius Aurelius Commodus Caesar, lord Famenoth, while Isidorus the Eudaimon orator said: Epimachus, the subordinate general, presented the letter delta on behalf of our workshop leader, who was a linen worker, employing many workers in the craft. Such individuals were released because they were useful to the treasury, and I also request that you command [to] Epimachus to present another [on behalf of himself] and I will read [the] memorandum of Macrinus, dated to Pharmouthi. Hippias the orator said: Epimachus claims that he is not a linen worker but a well-dressed perfumer. Julian said: according to what has been judged concerning the similar matters, if he is a workshop leader, he can also use the same example to present another on behalf of himself.

(hand 2) περὶ τάξεως ἐμβολ(ῆς)
In the 32nd year of Lucius Aelius Aurelius Commodus Caesar, our lord, on the 17th of Phamenoth, Isidorus Eudaemon, the rhetor, said: "Epimachus, son of Gaius, deputy strategos of the fourth letter, has appointed in his place our workshop supervisor, who is a linen-weaver employing many workers in his workshop. Such persons were exempted because they are useful to the treasury. And I request you to order Epimachus to appoint another person in his place, and I shall read out a memorandum of Macrinus, dated to the 22nd of Pharmouthi." Hippias, the rhetor, said: "Epimachus claims that he is not a linen-weaver, but rather a perfumer, a respectable man." Julianus said: "According to similar cases previously judged, if he is indeed a linen-weaver workshop supervisor, he may follow the same precedent and appoint another person in his place."
