Aelius Aphrodesius, general, and Serenus, who is also Sarapion, royal secretary of the Oxyrhynchite Ammonius, and of Ammonius the Pekusian, and to the partners, greetings.
Claudius Ioustos, the most distinguished, in his own words, in which he made the deliberation of the law that has been passed in the year of Antoninus Caesar, the lord, having taken the form concerning the sacred properties within the enclosure, having distributed the plots, he declared to all.
Thus: those who have joined the agreement with those in Tuskos can duly take possession of the places. But those who have been summoned and did not present themselves, if even now within two months they do not bring forth, let them be held to the appointed ones.
Therefore, these things having been transmitted by the other party, as it is fitting for us and for the secretary of the city, Heracleides, being under the authority of the current holders of the plots within the sacred enclosures of the metropolis,
according to the necessity, it is written to you that in the given deadline you may present the requested matters concerning which you have been declared to prevail over the plots within the enclosure of Athena at the intersection of Thoreios Thenephmoi.
(hand 2) [⁦ -ca.?- ⁩]
(hand 3) Sarapammon, secretary, having brought forth.
(hand 1?) [in the year 12 of the Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Eusebius Mesorē, coming].

English Translation

Aelius Aphrodisius, strategos, and Serenus also called Sarapion, royal scribe of Oxyrhynchus, to Ammonius also called Pets[ - - - ], son of Ammonius, son of Pekysis, and associates, greetings.

Claudius Justus, the most excellent, in his own account which he made in the past year's accounting of the nome, the 11th year of Antoninus Caesar the lord, having considered the matter concerning plots of land held within sacred precincts, decided as follows: Those who joined with those who made the assessment under Tuscus and have paid accordingly may rightfully retain possession of the places. But those who, although summoned, did not present (payment), if they do not pay even now within two months, shall be subject to the prescribed penalties.

Since these matters have been communicated by one of us as is proper, and by Herakleides, the city scribe, who has signed below, [ - - - ] the list of individuals currently holding plots within sacred precincts of the metropolis, it is accordingly necessary to inform you in writing, so that within the given deadline you may submit the required documents concerning the plots you have been reported to hold within the precinct of Athena, in the quarter of Thoereios Thenepmoi.

(hand 3) Sarapammon, scribe, I have submitted.

[Year 12 of Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius], Mesore, the 5th epagomenal day.
