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.

English Translation

To Aurelius Munatius, who has served as agoranomos and exegetes, gymnasiarch, councillor, and acting prytanis of the city of Oxyrhynchus, from Aurelius Didymus, son of Didymus, former councillor and contractor for the release of civic waters for the hot baths for nine months of the past 12th year. Although with great difficulty and beyond my means, especially due to the particular circumstances of the past year, I have considered it of utmost importance to fulfill my duties, so that during the stated months I was not lacking in diligence nor did I fail in providing the necessary supplies outside the terms of the contract. I believe you also perceive the current delay in the ascent (of the Nile), due to which at present the fodder for the animals seems scarce. Therefore, it is necessary for you to inform the supervisors among the exegetes of the water-drawing for the coming month of Phaophi, and similarly, since this is not included in the contract, to make it clear to Septimius [...] and Agathos Daimon, son of Potamon, that they should undertake the service of water-drawing for the following month, as I have declared myself unable to continue due to the aforementioned reason. Year 13 of Emperor Caesar Publius Licinius Gallienus Germanicus Maximus Pius Felix Augustus. Thoth 27. I, Aurelius Didymus, councillor, have submitted this.
