Translation into English

Gods of Seouros and Antoninus Capiton of Hermophantos.

If, as it is said, due to the burden of the service you have granted of your own, it is reasonable not to allow the granting to our treasury, but to the one chosen for the service, who having taken your possessions will provide your political honor and fulfill the service. For our treasury does not allow such grants, nor will your honor be harmed, nor will it be insulted in your body. It was proposed in the year of Mecheir in Alexandria.

To Aurelius Leonidas, general of Oxyrhynchus, from Aurelius Heracleides Petronius, mother of Plutarch from the village of Talaw. Named by power under Horus, mother of Calaminis, to the office of silver village receipts of the same Talaw.

Places to endure through you.

English Translation

The gods Severus and Antoninus to Capito, son of Hermophantos:
If, as you say, you have transferred your property due to the burden of the liturgy, it is reasonable that the transfer should not be made to our treasury, but rather to the person who has chosen you for the liturgy, who, having taken over your property, will pay your civic valuation and fulfill the liturgy. For our treasury does not accept such transfers, nor will your civic status suffer harm, nor will your person be subjected to insult. Submitted in the month Mecheir, at Alexandria.

Having been nominated beyond my means by Horos, son of Horos, whose mother is Kalamine, for the collection of village silver taxes of the same Talao, places [...] to resist [...] through you [...]
