English Translation

(Drachmas) Ap... Epeiph... (drachmas) 1... Epeiph 13 (drachmas) 207 Mesore... (drachmas)... and I have paid the remainder... from those commanded by the most distinguished governor to be given from... after the expenditures, four talents... the remaining talents... (drachmas)... as remaining talent 1 (drachmas) 1340. The assembly proclaimed: "Noble syndic, you have administered well; you have been testified as pure, faithful, and loving the city." Menelaos, the syndic, said: "This account has been presented to you, and it will also be publicly displayed and recorded. Furthermore, the account of the talents and the drachmas will be submitted to my lord, the most distinguished governor, and his greatness will examine it."

Another matter. Menelaos, the syndic, said: "No one is unaware of the care the syndicate has taken, and how I have continually fulfilled all the governor's commands and those of others, and indeed the administration of the city itself."

"Remember when the register of the magistrates was divided into two tribes and was submitted to my lord, the most distinguished governor, as far as the vote of distribution was concerned, that upon your prayers additional members were added to the two tribes, twelve in number."
