Translation

To Apollinarius, the strategos, from Pausirius Petshirius, from the village of Shephtha, while being engaged in the matters of the Nemean games. Since Didymus Amoius has sent me as one who has laid an ambush for Didymus, his son, concerning the grain, to be transferred to his son Didymus, of this memorandum, a copy, so that having it written down, a command may be made wherever the most excellent leader Avidius Heliodorus deliberates for good concerning the law, or he may adjudicate and persist until the judgment, in order that the event may be made clear. (In the year) 22 of the Emperor Trajan Hadrian Augustus.
