English Translation

To Calpurnius Horion, the most excellent hypomnēmatographos (recorder),
from Aurelius Sarapion, son of Ptolemaios, whose mother is Thaesis, from the
illustrious city of the Oxyrhynchites. Having been enrolled and examined
in the Hermias quarter in the 13th year of the reign of Gallienus, and having
been registered through the book provided by the phylarch (district official)
of the aforementioned quarter, and at the time of the proclamation of my peers,
I happened to be abroad. Now, therefore, having returned, I declare myself
and request that I too may partake equally with my peers in the distribution
of grain allowance, according to what has been decided by the most excellent council.
Farewell.
(Year) [ - - - ] of Emperor Caesar Lucius Domitius Aurelianus, Pious,
Fortunate Augustus [ - - - ].
