Translation into English

To Aurelius Heron, the most esteemed Praepositus, greetings.
Through whom a new letter has been written to us by the melody of my lord,
the steward of the Seven Nomoi, Aurelius Gregory,
he has commanded that many anchors be placed
in the harbors of the epinikia
so that there may be no delay
for the ships that are about to dock
in regard to the entry of these things
due to the order to be sent to Alexandria.

English Translation

To Aurelius Heras, praepositus (?) of the district (?), my most beloved, greetings.
Through the instructions recently written to us by the command of my lord Aurelius Gregorius, administrator of the Heptanomia, he ordered that very large quantities of provisions be stored in the harbor warehouses, so that when the ships dock, there will be no delay in loading these goods, since it has been commanded that they be transported to Alexandria.
