Translation into English

To Aurelius Munatius, who has committed an offense and has explained, gymnasiarch, councilor, chief magistrate of the city of Oxyrynchites, from Aurelius Didymus, councilor, born of a hired servant of the public waters of the hot baths for nine months of the past year. I have barely managed, beyond my strength, due to the peculiar nature of the past year, to fulfill the duties to the utmost, so that I have not failed to provide for the months indicated, nor to the grant of this month outside of the lease. I also consider it necessary to observe the present delay in this ascent, for which the previous feedings of the animals seem to be scarce, as it is necessary for you to inform those in charge from the explainers of the pumps for the coming month of Phamenoth, and likewise for the lease not to be transferred to Septimius and Agathos Daimon of Potamones, to make it clear, so that the services of the same next month may be received by me due to the aforementioned reason being prohibited. (Year) of the Emperor Caesar Publius Licinnius Gallienus Germanicus Maximus, the Pious, the Fortunate, the Augustus. I, Aurelius Didymus, councilor, have delivered this.
