"To the commanders of the laws, greetings from Claudius Herennianus, the most esteemed chief judge, who has ordered that the matters concerning the attached memoranda be submitted to him. You should take care to conduct the transactions according to the established laws — for thus the contracts will be valid — and the debts owed for them should be paid to the most illustrious city of Alexandria, while those who have previously committed offenses remain, and the same scrutiny should be maintained regarding those who have disobeyed this memorandum of mine. I write these things as a reminder of the divine command regarding the governance."
